Interesting read, thanks for posting. Sounds like, as with most everything else, the ultimate problem with animal testing is capitalism rather than anything inherent to the process.

The one thing I don't really understand about your moral position is that you take issue with "useless" research, and the examples you gave are studies that fail, drugs that go on to fail at human trials or researching two different drugs for the same disease. But all those things seem kinda necessary? If you knew which studies would succeed, you wouldn't need to do the studies. The studies that fail aren't useless, they worked perfectly. They advanced the science by showing us what doesn't work. And competing drugs often end up being used as combined treatments, or worst case they drive each other's price down. It's very rare for a disease to be totally cured with only one treatment. For the record I totally get your annoyance with companies developing their own proprietary disease models when one already exists. Unless one ends up being better than the other, that does seem pointless. But the other stuff seems like objecting to how science fundamentally works? None of this is a criticism by the way, everyone's morals are equally valid. Just curious how you came to the position. jabby fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jul 3, 2020 |
