Why Are We Still Using Animals For Medical Research?

Season 6 Episode 12 | 9m 14sVideo has Closed Captions

Much of the animal testing we do isn’t necessary anymore, but we keep doing it. Why?

For decades, many companies tested their products on animals to see if they were safe. But as long as there has been animal testing there has also been opposition to it. Today, much of the animal testing we do isn’t necessary anymore, but it is still a practice that is done in research labs across the country. Myles explores some of the new alternatives and technologies that have been developed.
