Advantages: I know that my medication is safe to take
Disadvantages: For me there isn't really one, please see my opinion
I both agree and disagree with animal testing. The part of animal testing I don't like is cosmetics and beauty products as I don't see the point of it, but where medical advancement is concerned I agree with it.
I don't mean this is a horrible way, but this is something which affects me in a big way. I have epilepsy which is medically controlled and the tablets which I take have been tested on mice in a laboratory. These types of tests are necessary as people could die/become ill if they took any medication which was not properly tested first. I know that if my medication had not been tested I would have reservations about taking it as I would be very concerned about the safety of it.
Until there is another way for medication etc to be tested without animals this is how it will stay. I know that some people will see this as a very cold hearted view, but once you need medication which is for more serious things then a cold, then you do see things differently.
Summary: My medication has been tested on animals and I know that it is safe to take

- 13/10/09 I have to say I agree with the previous two reviewers. Our make up is so different that the effects can never be accurately determined, that is why, before drugs go on the market, there is a process for testing them on consenting humans. |

- 12/01/09 I really can't agree with you about testign on animals in any way. Mice and rats and monkeys are simply made completely differently from human beings so it matters not a jot whether or not your medicine was tested on a mouse, because you are not a mouse! It is a well written review, though, Kelly. |

- 27/11/08 Thalidomide was tested on rats, and was perfectly safe. It had pretty catastrophic results when it was prescribed to pregnant women. This is a much more complicated situation than either this review or the last comment gives it credit for. |
