Rath on 16 December 2009
I'm for it for medical or major technical breakthroughs. If possible though I would far prefer it if they used forms of life that aren't too intelligent - though I am aware that the great apes are closest to humans and as such the best for testing.
I would also like it if they continued to work on technology that allows them to replicate living human cells in a lab which would remove the need for huge amounts of the current animal testing.
It is an evil, but I don't place the same values on the lives of any other species that I do on humans (I don't believe any animals should be entitled to the human-rights) but I do believe it must be hugely regulated to cause the least suffering possible.
