Almost every artificial substance you ingest has been tested in animals first (and some you don't take have been rejected because of animal tests). So, unless you avoid all meds on these grounds, it's just an unfortunate but necessary part of the process.

Despite the hype to the contrary, there's no way to predict the possible effects on a complex system without animal testing.

But luckily, we're getting there. I don't like animal testing any more than you do -- I just don't see any way around it yet.

BTW, I'm a research biologist, although I don't do experiments on animals -- it would upset me too much.
