Support Non-Animal Testing for Medical Progress

In the US scientists plan to develop sophisticated ‘robotic machines’ to screen chemicals, a step which could replace invasive animal tests on animals such as mice and rats.

It is in all our interest that Animal Testing is replaced with Alternatives based on Human Biology not Animals.

In Britain some 420,000 animal experiments were conducted in 2006 to test the safety of chemicals. REACH, the largest mass animal testing programme in Europe’s history, will see the testing of 30,000 chemicals on up to 10 millions animals. Non-animal test strategies, like that being looked at in the US, could provide more reliable data, generated more quickly and at a dramatically lower cost than animal tests.

More on New Technology for Alternative Testing:

A film Safer Medicines, shows how latest technologies could supplant animal tests in drug development to deliver safer drugs to patients more cost effectively. Described by Tony Benn as "A very important film". This can be viewed at Europeans for Medical Progress website
