on animals or humans?

should scientists be testing out new medicine's on animals each time (guinea pigs, lab rats, monkey's, etc.) or since the drugs usually in development r 4 human, it should be tested out on our species each/every time? animal rights activisits come speak up. :)

Hmm,
Then we wonder why some of the stuff doesn't work. My opinion, if you're trying to treat lions, then why test the drug on monkeys?

The only problem is that for humans you need volunteers. Realistically, who is going to volunteer to test a new drug when they don't know what the side effect is?

As an aside, I really honestly believe that's how the HIV/AIDS virus was started. A science experiment gone bad....

yes it's kind of wierd when you put it that way. But like Topclass said no Human is not going to volunteer if they don't know side effects.

that's an interesting point Salt: should inmates be used for testing if their sentence is life in prison or death row?? I mean are we going to let them live out their last days or what? I have a feeling that it would turn into a big legal issue cuz it's not like the ones on death row or for life are living 1/2 bad (cable tv, exercise rooms, all that luxury crap for murderers, rapists, theives, etc.) and they are definitely not gonna volunteer....
