Sorry, but everyone on this thread so far seems to assume animal experimentation has benefited human health. It hasn't.

I challenge anyone to name an experiment performed on animals, that has benefited humans. Please describe the experiment and exactly how it did so.

Was it the none honoured professor Colin Blakemores experiments, where he blinded kittens in the laboratory?

"The idea, as I understand it, is that fundamental truths are revealed in laboratory experimentation on lower animals and are then applied to the problems of the sick patient. Having been myself trained as a physiologist, I feel in a way competent to assess such a claim. It is plain nonsense." - Sir George Pickering, Regius Professor of Medicine at the University of Oxford, BMJ, Dec 26, 1964.

"Those who don't hesitate to vivisect, will not hesitate to lie about it" - George Bernard Shaw
