Animal testing is currently regulated by strict laws. In the EU and many countries, it must be scientifically justified, follow the 3Rs rule (Replace, Reduce, Refine), and be approved by ethical committees. Testing is mandatory for safety evaluation of medicines and certain products but must minimize animal suffering and use alternatives whenever possible

We got a bunch of people serving life sentences and on death row. Let them volunteer for lab testing

Why isn’t “Yes, but test on pedophiles and rapists” an option here?

I think medical research should be allowed as long as it’s humanely done

Test those on death row and convicted “child enjoyers” so to speak (wording it this way so my comment isn’t removed)

Ethics is an obstacle to advancement as is. We needn't make it worse.

Other animal's aren't Humans, and most of the time animal tests don't actually give viable data for how things will function in Humans. An example of this is: if we just discovered chocolate and tested it on most animal's, we would determine that it is toxic, though we know it is not toxic in human even though it is to most animals. That is why tests shouldn't be done on animal's. If you aren't confident enough in your products safety to use it on yourself, you shouldn't subject another living being to torture and torment. And if you are confident enough to test it on yourself, then do that.

Animal testing raises serious ethical concerns due to animal suffering, so alternatives should be prioritized. However, it has contributed to important medical advances that save lives. Therefore, it must be strictly regulated and used only when no alternatives exist, ensuring the highest welfare standards.

There isn't really option other than animal testing when it comes to medical research. Unless we go full supervillain route and start kidnapping homeless(which current US administration probably already is looking into). That being said, is there really point to rub soap into eyes of animals to see how it affects them? You'd think even simplest dudebro would understand not put soap in their eyes.

Is it really even necessary anymore? Seems we should have long advanced past the need for animal testing.

What else you testing on otherwise? I would allow testing on violent prisoners instead of animals.

Humans hurt animals for being alive. But human's life is meaningless and human will die anymway. Therefore animal's suffering is meaningless.

Depends on the testing. Some testing does help animals, but the testing should only be done if it is not harming the animal. Like medication has to be tested, test the medication on animals that are already sick and see if it gets them better or other tests like that. Testing that is just abusing or neglecting the animals for no reason should not be allowed.

What happened to the time where it was more inhumane to do human testing in early stages? Animal testing is how we make sure it’s safe to move onto human testing
