In light of discussing if discounting animal interests is morally defensible I wonder if we should be asking other questions. Such question stem form my belief that we would not have to even resort to experimenting on animals if we research and seek out solutions to problems that exist that cause us harm and sickness. For example, experimenting on animals with drugs that are to help cancer patients, it would be beneficial to ask what can we do to eliminate of significantly mitigate those factor within our society that cause us to have to even develop new drugs. It is within the interest of humans and animals that we explore this question.
We live in a world characterized by mass production and mass demand for products. Often these products that we use are laden with toxic substances and treated with chemicals poisonous to the human body and mind and ultimately harmful to nonhuman animals.
Thoughts?
