What would happen if animal testing was banned tomorrow?
By looking through medical history we see many examples of how progress has been made without the use of animals, how progress has been retarded due to animal-based research and how disasters have occurred because of it. If animal testing was banned tomorrow, research would not cease – that is not the nature of true science. Researchers would have no choice but to look to alternatives. Whilst researchers continue to use animals in medical research they are wasting precious resources – time and money – that should be used to find better, more ethical and scientifically-valid ways.
