    I don't like where this is headed. It sounds like an pro argument for testing on larger animals. I am against all animal testing from tiny rats to large monkeys. It sounds like they want society to agree that they should be testing on larger animals to provide us with better information. I stick by my opinion that the only medical testing that should be done should be done on prison inmates, especially death sentence inmates. I mean, they're dead anyway, right? We have hundreds of thousands of rapists and murderers and paedophiles just sitting around on our dimes. Why not put them to good use?
