How do we all feel about animal experiments in the name of medical science?

UK's leading mouse genetics centre faces closure

Not one AMN mouse breakthrough has translated to humans, then again I am slowly dying here.

I’m a huge animal lover, but I suppose I’m a bit of a hypocrite really, because I do sometimes eat meat. I am questioning that though. As for using animals for testing, I hate it, and I am totally against it. Some may think this a bit extreme, but I’d be happy if paedophiles were used. Animals are so innocent, and just plain perfect. They do not deserve to suffer.

MIN-102 started on a mouse model and as selfish as it is, I am thankful for the sacrifice of the mouse. BUT At the same time, I would love to know how the mouse is doing today?? (Most likely no longer with us, but you never know!)

Definitely a double edged sword.
