How else would we develop safe vaccines?

Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Testing video games? I don't think they know how to play.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

As long as they are being properly fed and contained pre/post testing, I see no problem.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

What's the alternative?

Only test the cutest animals!

Digital testing, or humans.

I don't support either, just saying.

So, do we grow fingers for testing?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I'm for it 100%

Funny.

We already know so much about the biology, physiology and all ologies of some animals that we can accurately predict what would happen to them if we were to test them.

This is done with computers, and is already possible with rats, however is more expensive than just using rats.

Something like this happens in the newest Spider-Man movie.

If it was completely accurate, we would not be testing animals..

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

No issue here as long as within ethical guidelines. See Harry Harlow. Though his experiments are now considered unethical, prior to his studies on attachment, people were under the assumption that they should limit or avoid bodily contact with their children so they aren't spoiled.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

I feel like that is both bad and good. Double edged sword.

It is too expensive, hence why this method is not widely used.

I'd rather sacrifice a hundred rats over one person.

If I told you that, the one person had raped a child and was sentenced to death penalty, would you still say the same thing?

OP, why is it you make it like rodents are insignificant? Rats are very intelligent, aware animals, and one of the few non-primates that have illustrated signs of metacognition.

I never said that they're insignificant, it's just that some people actually think that we should only test in rodents.

The options in the poll are options I gathered from people at college and the internet, not my own.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

They are animals. While some might have higher brain functions, they are still, in my humble opinion, inferior to humans, to whom preference should be given. That said, I am completely against animal cruelty.

Ah, because usually when people imply "rodents" in this respect, they believe they are just what their namesake suggested amongst popular culture- the scourge of mammals.
