So your argument is that Thalidomide was apparently tested on animals and caused birth defects in humans, therefore animal testing is useless because birth defects weren't detected in animals.

Seriously. How were we suppose to test this drug? How? If animal testing was out of the picture how would you know that this drug caused birth defects? Wait for a pregnant inmate to show up on death row?

How do you propose we test drugs like this?
They could start a voluntary knock up the female inmate programs. Well the inmates wouldn't be allowed to volunteer, it would be like the greeting line at a brothel.
