pacificgrove-ga,
Here are some links to materials that both support and oppose the use
of animals in research, arguing that they are necessary to save lives,
or that either (a) they are unneeded for that purpose, or (b) animal
testing is morally repugnant, regardless of any medical benefits that
we might realize.
