I have to say I'm bothered if animals are used to test things like eyeliner or something, but I think it's justified when researching a new treatment for something like bipolar disorder.

If these same tests could be done so that the animals experience no pain without any repercussions to the research then I definitely vote for that! However, I absolutely support the idea that it's OK to induce as much pain as is necessary in rats to get the results for the research & development of new drugs -- only if this method is likely to do so sooner, of course. And might I say, such a decision should only be regarded as altruistic.

From Hell,
Jon

p.s. It turns out we should have been worshiping these rats as god... who knew?! ;-)
