Manage episode 365465250 series 3429050
What is animal testing? Is it necessary, and does it even work? Are there better alternatives?
I invite Dr. Faraz Harsini, Founder and CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), to learn all about animal testing and dispel myths surrounding this topic. We discuss ethics, effectiveness, and why animal testing actually hinders medical advancement. We talk about the many alternatives that exists and legal implications as well.
