Contents Notes |
Introduction -- How it all began -- Legislated ineptitude -- The "pathetic illusion" of animal-modeled drugs -- White coat welfare -- Alternatives -- Real origins of new medications -- Cancer, our modern-day plague -- Diseases of the cardiovascular system -- AIDS and humbled science -- Animal organ donors -- Call to action. Presents scientific evidence to support the authors' contention that animal experimentation has not led to any significant advances in the treatment of human disease; charges that the practice continues because of a faulty system of funding; and urges scientists, researchers, veterinarians, and physicians to speak out on the failure of animal experimentation as revealed in their own fields. |
