First, Do No Harm

Primum non nocere…
First, do no harm.

The scientific argument against animal experimentation:
a) animals and humans are different,
b) animal experimentation artificially sickens or injures healthy animals, which can influence the experiment,
c) better alternatives exist, such as tests on human cells,
d) science and medicine must first do no harm.

  1. We can only imagine how far we would have progressed had we refused to take “science” gotten from animal studies. Sad for all. :(
