Should researchers be allowed to use animals in testing the safety of drugs, vaccines, medical devices, and cosmetics?
Test on convicted criminals, such as murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and terrorists.
Test on criminals such as rapists and murderers.
@8CZSDSV4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is no other alternative
@9FZKSK26mos6MO
If they can do this without using animals it would be preferable but if that is the only option then yes
@9G6SD2J6mos6MO
Use of testing on people who are convicted of sexual assault and murder, not manslaughter, but murder
Regulations need to be rigorous and reviewed that the new product has a legitimate chance of causing harm and whether existing tests for similar products are sufficient. I don't agree for cosmetics
@9FL5JBK6mos6MO
In some cases yes but always make sure the animals don’t suffer
@9FKCWJ36mos6MO
@9FKBFXY6mos6MO
No they should use criminal offenders such as rapists and murderers
@9FK9XQR6mos6MO
Don't have any stance on this
Yes, but only where there are no other testing alternatives and the product is considered life saving
@9FJTJMR6mos6MO
Yes but there should be rules on how this happens. No cosmetics for example and the tests shouldn’t cause pain
@9FJJ6HCOpportunities6mos6MO
Medical life changing chemicals after all other avenues have been researched
Depends on the impact the testing has on animals
@9DSZMVB7mos7MO
Test it on Rapists and Murderers
Only if there is no other more animal friendly way and strict humane methods applied
@9DRXV7H7mos7MO
No find another way or don’t use substances that are harmful
@9DQYZF27mos7MO
Yes, but only for testing products to be used on animals
@9DPM46D7mos7MO
Only humans who are imprisoned as part of their sentence which include heinous crimes like rape and murder should receive this by force.
@9DNC7CG7mos7MO
Use humans. We are animals. And to be quite frank it's not ok to force our wants on any other species to benefit us and us alone. It's really messed up.
@9DK38SH7mos7MO
Yes, but only for life saving drugs
@9DHFD3R7mos7MO
Yes on all medical advances, however in the most humane way possible
@9DG648Y7mos7MO
Yes, but only if they are treated humanely and do not suffer.
Yes, but not repeatedly. Once you get the scientific result the animal should nevet have to suffer for those results again needlessly.
@9DCBTN67mos7MO
Test on convicted child sex offenders.
@9DCBDR67mos7MO
It depends on what animals are used.
@9DBJYX77mos7MO
Use criminals who are convicted behind a doubt of serious crimes ie murder/rape
@9DB5P9F8mos8MO
Drugs, medical devices, and vaccines as long as they would be happy giving it to a human. Don't actually give it to a human, test on the animal, but don't give it to the animal if you are not 100% happy with it
@9D9ZM258mos8MO
No, rather test it on prisoners serving a life sentence for murder or rape.
@9D9M8WY8mos8MO
maybe like sickly dying animals or pests or ones that aren’t so conscious
@8C6F2WK4yrs4Y
Test it on pedos sex offenders
As long as ethics proposals have been reviewed and accepted
Shouldn't you are ready know what is harmful without kill animals
@9FN5WC8New Zealand First6mos6MO
It's an awful thought either way, I just cant answer this as there is repercussions and moral issues either side
@9FMBDX76mos6MO
use prisioners to test on.
@9FLCVFX6mos6MO
Yes if it’s relevant to siad animal (not for human gain)
Only certain animals which have smaller brain capacities
if done ethically yes, otherwise no
@9FGWBZY6mos6MO
How else would they test? They could test it on the politicians!
@9FGVHGS6mos6MO
So long as it is not on domestic animals
What is the alternative? I don't like the idea of animals being used for testing.
yes but this means not killing a thousand animals
No, animals are to be let out and roam freely and not held against their will.
@9FFW4RGNew Zealand First6mos6MO
Only with due regards to the health and safety of the animals
@9FFN3DS6mos6MO
If you won’t try it on yourself why would you try it on a poor defenceless furbaby
no, test it on very bad criminals
