Again, I ask the question. Do you or have you ever knowingly taken prescription medication that's been tested on animals?

So... in essence everytime you give your one word answer you're advocating for more comprehensive, thorough animal testing. You're arguing against yourself. |
Thalidomide was tested on pregnant rats and the deformities never occurred.
I have been offered medicine for a thyroid deficiency which is made from pig thyroid. I have turned that down. I would not take Premarin if it was ever offered - one of Canada's most shameful secrets. I use the internet for research. So, no. I use salicylic acid for aches and pains. A very old remedy. My dog even takes herbal medicines - myrtle for her eyes - in non-gelatin capsules. So much animal testing is pointless - from cutting up frogs in biology class to LD50.
I will follow my father's example from my previous post if I ever find myself seriously ill. Perhaps that is where I differ from some other people. I truly do not consider myself superior or better than any other living being. I would sacrifice myself for others.
