    How can we develop therapeutics without animal testing? Genuinely asking your thoughts.

      I’m not the expert but it seems naive to think animal testing is the one and only way. It’s just an already established norm with some regions requiring it for eligibility of sale, that’s why it’s still as prevalent as it is

        But what could replace it? Genuinely curious. I used to do animal studies in grad school. I don’t see a better option for making sure this new drug doesn’t kill Grandma.
