STOP ANIMAL TESTING

the advancement of medical science; still less do I know of any animal experiment that could conceivably be necessary to save human life."
-H. Fergie Woods, M.D.

Why even test on animals when the results are only 5-25% percent agreeable. instead of curing people like animal testing is mostly designed for, we're hurting our own people too, along with the animals. 88 % of the results differ to us than to animals, and we are killing on average 25-50 billion animals per year in the US only. And there are over 400 alternatives known today..
Alternatives include the following:

In vitro

Testing "in an artificial environment outside the living organism." (American Heritage 715)

Chorioallantoic

Membrane

Testing of the membrane of a fertilized chicken egg.

Computer

Network and model testing, including research on past animal tests, so that new testing is unnecessary.

Cell culture

Testing by growing cultures.

Analytical methods

Testing with chemistry and biology.

Stem Cell

While some stem cell is from embryonic sources, this is not condoned here. Stem cell research is possible by the use of fat obtained from liposuction surgeries.

Technology*

Breakthroughs in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

Epidemiology*

The study and control of diseases within the human population.

Clinical Research*

The observation and analysis of a patient%u2019s condition.

Autopsies*

Virtually every disease has either been discovered or clarified as result of autopsies.

Post-Marketing Drug Serveillance*

A system of reporting all effects and side effects of a medication after it has been released to the public. When in effect, health professionals could detect and prevent the dangers of negative drug reactions.

Genetic Research*

Reveals which genes cause humans to be predisposed to hereditary problems.

Computer and Mathematical Modeling*

Mimics shapes and structures of molecules allowing scientists to improve their design to be more effective.
