Maybe it can be done on animals that are dying or aren't expected to live much long, but to take healthy living animals and do brutal tortures on them is wrong. I mean how would a human like it if another species evolved greater than us and took us away and tested on us?

Healthy animals are necessary for these tests - though of course they do use animals with cancer for cancer research.

Sick animals make the research less effective, which means it costs more human lives in the long run. Not acceptable.

Doing the research on people isn't acceptable either, because this stuff would kill them.

Okay, thats different if they use sick animals. It's giving the animal a chance. but to use a healthy animal IMO is sick.

I never said we should do research on normal human beings!

Using sick animals isn't a viable alternative, though. It can't be done in order to get the same results. We need healthy animals. Otherwise we may never cure cancer. Or diabetes. Or sickle-cell anemia. Or multiple sclerosis.

Jesus, I would like for there to be a cure for multiple sclerosis. Wouldn't you?
