I must say, I don't understand there view.
Do these people really think animal testing is not helpfull?
Question........
Would medical science be at it's current level as it is today, if it wasn't for animal testing?.... No. ( Does not mean i condone it)... It's just Reality.
hal,
thank you for your comment. not sure that it is in any way a review of even a single aspect of the film whatsoever; but "what the heck" :)
the movie was framed as it was so the viewers can answer such questions for themselves. many fiction and non-fiction films are presented exactly so - it's not a secret formula.
it seems obvious what the answer is to me, yet sadly understandable why it might not be as obvious to others - a point made subtlety/beautifully in the movie.
if you feel that it is justifiable to use non-human animals for what you call "helpfulness of medical science", then it's quiet likely that you favor mostly/fully to the side of human animals and minimally/not at all to non-human animals.
yes; all this unnecessary cruelty certainly is a reality that many accept - it is a reality that everyone should know is wrong.
please consider that a statement like "Does not mean i condone it" loses all of its validity when it is proceeded by questions such as "Do these people really think animal testing is not helpful"; or "Would medical science be at it's current level as it is today, if it wasn't for animal testing". it's pretty clear where you stand!
"there view" is actually "their view" and "helpfull" is actually "helpful" (i get that one wrong often, as well)
oh yeah; the Ghosts in Our Machines - 8 out of 10 (i believe IMDB rates on a 1 to 10 scale)
i love you and wish you a healthy day!
