So it looks like the FDA will not be allowed to use animals anymore for their testing, if things go well. Sorry, I was not trying to make a controversial post, just wanted to know if anyone else had seen the articles. Of course you can google it and read about it. 🙂

Thank you. Will they test on humans now?

I am not sure about that. I only read the headline on the news site.

China is doing it all for us anyway.

So much of our industry, society even, is driven by computer programs and computer models. I would think with all the wonderful, advanced technology, a computer program could determine what cosmetics are safe for human use. I would be so happy for our animal kingdom if testing on them would stop. It is cruel and unnecessary.

This legislation would end an outdated FDA mandate that experimental drugs must be tested on animals before they are used on humans in clinical trials.

The bill would not ban animal testing outright, but would allow the option for drug sponsors to use alternative methods where they are suitable.

In 1938, Congress passed the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, mandating animal toxicity testing. Since then, science and data has shown that in some products, animal testing is a highly inconsistent predictor of toxic responses in humans, all while animal testing on any single pharmaceutical product often requires killing hundreds of animal test subjects.

No @wvumountiefan,

thank you!

I was just about to read your post when it was deleted. Didn't have to be.

I had read something about that a few weeks ago and it is very hopeful and would be great news.

So I thank you for posting this!

@ValuSkr They have to test on something. Military? Prisoners? Customers? I guess.
