Can you source this Rob?
Not meaning to be a dick by asking, but I'm genuinely curious. I can get that we're no doubt going to come across some things that might work wonderfully on animals but not on humans, but I'd of thought on the whole testing on animals first still gives a good indication of something. It's still a real science IMO, I'm sure there's new drugs, and cancer cures that are being tested on rats or other animals. Are you suggesting we scrap this completely?
What are these realistic alternatives you're talking about?
