NYT: ANIMAL TESTS DON'T PREDICT HUMAN RESULTS

A New York Times article about the apparently increased use of clinical testing of drugs on humans happens to drop this bombshell: "[S]cientists and industry executives, while acknowledging the potential for ethical issues, say that experiments on people are more reliable, because animal tests often fail to accurately predict whether a drug will work on people." Really. Often, you say? Then maybe... could it be... we shouldn't be sacrificing animals to such unreliable research. (via Vegan Porn)
