Is using human for clinical trials more ethical than animal testing?

Question

Accepted Answer

How could it NOT be? Humans can make informed consent, animals cannot

Answer

You have to do both 99% of the time (for drugs)

Answer

Not really because that would involve the poor being tested on more

Answer

I mean at least humans can consent.. it's kinda messed up when animals die and they're all scared and dont know what's going on or why their skin or eyeball is burning and they went blind

Answer

In my opinion, if it’s for humans then HUMANS should be tested on it! Animals are so innocent and so sweet

Answer

It really depends but I’m about to be a human lab rat. I’m a part of a drug trial for the drug called rekovelle. Turns out fertility drugs are made of gerbil hormones and this is the first human hormone drug on the market.  But generally speaking is rather sacrifice a few thousand rats than a human being. People will gladly execute a rat in a trap when it comes into their home looking for food and shelter but god forbid we use them to test life saving drugs

Answer

Dont they usually do both most of the time? But yes, humans can consent to whatever they are putting into or on their bodies, animals can not.

Answer

Depends on the human. I honestly don’t know why we test on animals when there are rapists, murders & child molesters getting 3 hots & a cot in prison.

Answer

We dont need to test on anything living anymore really. Science had found ways to test on synthetic DNA that is almost identicle to human DNA. The only reason its not used commonly yet is the price of the tests.

Answer

They already do both.  They just do animals first and humans second.
