Zakhar supports vivisection - 2004/09/10 15:32
Records show that there were over 60 million new (HIV) infections over the past two decades.
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1211-03.htm
More than 80% of people with Aids come from Africa.
The World Health Organisation says the disease is now the leading cause of death, and is the cause of a fifth of all deaths in the continent. One in four people in the country is HIV positive.
In Europe, the number of people dying from Aids has fallen by 80% since 1995 because of the introduction of drug treatments which keep the virus at bay.
From that, it's easy to see that these drugs are saving millions of lives and have the potential of saving millions more in the future. The drugs were tested on macaque monkeys. They could easily have been the rabbits you gave in your example.
Work has begun on the next phase of pre-clinical trials, again using macaque monkeys, and focussing on the doses required.
The monkeys gave the drug a green light to go onto clinical trials.
April 1999: Scientists at the Yerkes Regional Primate
Research Center in Georgia, USA, announce that a
"safe" HIV vaccine has been successfully tested on monkeys.
Let's consider your ratio, 1:1000
"for example if one rabbit would save 1000 humans, then I could accept that the rabbit should die." Zakhar 2003-02-02
Considering the unfathomable number of people who's lives can be saved, now and in hundreds of years to come, the use of those monkeys in your 1:1000 ratio is entirely feasible. In principle, you believe that vivisecting animals for our ills is right.
I shouldn't even need to give you any examples because your statement says it all. You do support vivisection, or at least the principle of it, whatever ratio you want to give it.
