RAW Truth 4: Checklists, Communication and Cures
Manage episode 329640167 series 2868308
Only five percent of the drugs developed and tested with animals actually make it to market. Groups that oppose research with animals continue to tell lawmakers and the general public that this is no surprise because animals are worthless as models for the human condition? They argue that we are just too different from nonhuman animals for anything of medical value to translate to people. And they insist that we can learn all there is to know to treat and cure disease in people by using non-animal technologies that are more “human relevant”. But is this true? Joining us today to start our discussions on this topic is Dr. Adrian Smith, a pioneer in laboratory animal welfare and a valued partner to the biomedical research community…and everyone else who cares deeply about animals and people.
