UK laboratories animal rights medical researchThis article in the Herald Tribune claims that animal rights is winning out over animal research. I would take the article with a grain of salt.

In a very depressing fight, every sign is worth something. MORE

Over $100 million went to medical research while about $1 million went to animal welfare causes. But a group of trustees got together, determined she was mentally unfit at the time, and decided to “responsibly” donate to medical research instead. It’s more money for medical research.

It's the best way to train medical personnel. They claim the animals are asleep during the procedures and feel no pain. The Marines also claim that using live pigs and inflicting wounds on them is the only way to approximate real-life situations in combat. Read and decide for yourself. MORE

Only three accredited medical schools in the whole country use animals to teach surgery. Dr. Pippin told me there's a good reason all the other 150-plus medical schools in the country don't use animals in surgical education: There are better ways to teach surgery. A paper published by the New England Journal of Medicine backs him up, asserting that simulators are effective training devices for medical residents. MORE
