Sounds horrid but Id prefer prodcts o be tested on humans than animals. Theyre for humans after all anyway. Like cosmetics and drugs, might as well get better straight forward info than harm poor defenseless creatures.
I think its legal, to pay people to be live guinea pigs? There must be a country that allows such
I think if I am to take drugs for a seriously fatal disease, I think id prefer one tested on humans than chimps or rodents
I think the US actually allows humans to be guinea pigs for some things, as long as all the proper forms are signed and the thing isn't equivalent to sulfuric acid. It can pay well, from what I've heard, but all sorts of shit can go wrong, too. i don't care if I get paid $300 a week, I don't want to risk having diarrhea for a month or having all my hair fall out, lol.
As for medicines that are going to treat humans, I believe they do eventually get tested on humans, before being made available on the market, but before they get to that stage, they have to make sure the medicines don't cause cancer or organ failure and whatnot. That's what the animals would be for. First, animals, and if the medicine doesn't cripple them, then humans.
