With a new administration that takes the helm of the White House, the time is now to replace experiments on animals with far more efficient, animal -free methods.
To help the new administration in its goal of cutting waste and protecting human health has PETA scientists released Examine modernization now, A bold, inventive strategy to end unsuccessful experiments on animals and transition to pioneering, human relevant science.
More than 110 million animals are killed in US laboratories every year, yet experiments on animals funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with billions of taxpayers’ dollars that do not produce effective treatments or cure for neurological illness are many forms of cancer, sepsis, and other disabling and deadly conditions.
Research Modernization Now, an update to our cutting-edge research maternity agreement, is the only comprehensive, Commonsense strategy to carefully replace experiments on animals with organs-on chips, advanced computer modeling techniques, artificial intelligence and other methods that use human cells, tissues and data. It first establishes the proof of failure in animal studies based on decades of studies, including failure frequencies for animal studies in specific disease areas. For example:
| Alzheimer’s disease | 99.6% |
| Cancer | 96.6% |
| HIV vaccine | 100.0% |
| Blows | 100.0% |
| Sepsis | 100.0% |
About 90% of basic research, most of which involves experiments on animals, fail to lead to effective treatments for humans, and 95% of new drugs testing safely and effectively in animals fail in human trials, sometimes causing serious side effects , such as anaphylaxis or even death.
The new report also explains why the existing controls and balances to stop this waste do not work, how a transition to animal -free research would benefit the economy and why there is no better time than now for American leadership to propel science forward.
Examine modernization now Recommend these action steps:
- Final animals in research areas where animals are poor “models” of humans and their use has hindered scientific and medical progress.
- Make systematic review of the effectiveness of animal use to identify additional areas where non-animal methods are available, or animal farms have failed to protect human health and can stop.
- Redirecting funds from animal experiments to reliable, non-animal methods.
- Implement an injury analysis system for animal studies that includes an ethical perspective and consideration of lifelong damage caused to animals.
- Educate the scientific community about the benefits of non-expensive approaches and educational scientists to use them.
Examine modernization now Can burn a transformation, control the dollars of taxpayers away from financing the cruelty that does not provide the discoveries needed to promote human health. It can be initiated right away.
What you can do
If you are in the US, take action today and Support Petas Research Modernization Now.
Support animal -free science
Everyone can look at The failed experimentA shocking documeries with 6 episodes produced by PETA Director Bill Maher, who puts on the failure of the current methods of medical research, which are highly dependent on cruel and incomprehensible experiments on our fellow animals.
