    Thank you so much for an awesome video on lab animals and their importance!!! I work for a company that makes heart valves and I was an animal husbandry technician, now I’m a surgical technician in the same department (working with lab animals). I love my job! And I love giving the animals a high quality of care while helping advance important heart valve research

      Love to meet another person working with lab animals! I work in an immunology lab looking into the immunology of transplant rejection. I too feel the pain of animal research as I too love animals but I understand the importance of my research. I feel that because I care, I can conduct my research with the highest quality and take care to minimise discomfort to the animals.

      That's a big 'if'. More likely we'd miss something useful for 2 reasons. 1. It affected the two species chosen for the tests badly - the effects would have been seen in another species but we didn't happen to use that species and 2. We were testing a drug for a specific purpose when it could be used for other things. An example is thalidomide - an effecitve but dangerous (to foetuses) anti-emetic, hence a 'failed' drug which can nevertheless be used to treat some cancers and leprosy. What constitutes 'failure' can be what target effect was chosen to be tested.

    Hi Olivia. Consider some of the gibberish that is being spread over butter vs margarine. What is butter? Butter is a suspension of milk solids in fat. what is margarine? Margarine is a suspension of milk solids in fat. So what's the difference? By law since 1943 (US) butter must contain animal fat, specifically dairy fat. margarine is a more general, generic term and butter is a form of margarine. so margarine can contain any type of fat, including walrus fat, should you so choose. To be realistic, heart-healthy margarines such as Promise or ICBINB are made with plant fats. Plant fats are liquid at room temperature so we call them oils. To make them more solid they are partially hydrogenated. However even after hydrogenation they still contain less than 1/3 the saturated fat of butter. And, like butter, they contain zero trans fat (read the friggin' labels!). So, bottom line, is that heart-healthy margarines are much better for your health than butter and neither is "one molecule away from being a plastic".

    You forgot the most import step: Secure funding. Most research dies at the animal testing phase simply because of a lack of funding to progress onto human trials. Step one really should be selecting an area of research where you can demonstrate that there's a potential for huge profits in the future. i.e. obesity research gets about $20 billion in funding annually. Not sure what they're researching though, not a whole lot of mystery in that area.

    • @chrismagee333
      @chrismagee333 5 лет назад +2

      Matter of fact there's a lot of mystery. Gut microbiota, for instance, vary from person to person and people who were normal weight can become overweight following a faecal transplant even if they keep the same diet they had before. This too has numerous mechanisms, including the gut flora influencing appetite or conversely the absorption of nutrients from food. This means, for instance, that individuals can have a spike in blood sugar or fat absorption from different foods to one another - one person might be fine eating biscuits and bacon, but not ice cream, and the next otherwise comperable person might be the exact opposite.

      I believe it also has something to do with cognitive ability (primates have much more emotional range than rodents, are capable of learning a lot more, etc), and also, just how society views the creatures. Society places a lot higher value on primates and cats and dogs, than rodents or other farm animals.You can probably find more information if you look up IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) laws/regulations.

      I depends on what level you mean. many labs are using 3D printing and other techniques, to develop organoids(miniature organs with all the cell types and basic structures) and have shown than when connected with microfluidics then can send and sense chemical messages. I am not sure how far it way been developed price, complexity wise, but I know there was a test with heart liver and lungs cells that show similar result to toxicity study found in a heart drug that wasn't found when testing on just cardiac cells. that was developed a couple years ago. the problem is that is stem cell based, and doesn't count for genetic variance. maybe with induced multipotent stem cells it might have moved further.

Also, many of them have health problems which make them unsuitable as a medical test subject. And more importantly, it is highly unethical, especially for countries where cruel & unusual punishment has been outlawed.

      @kcallamajaji 5 лет назад +6

      This is morally wrong and has been abolished a long time ago. The prison population is considered a vulnerable group, along with children and pregnant women. Experimenting on prisoners when they cannot give 100% informed consent because there is a question of power over their decisions is wrong. Also, the fact that there are people on a death sentence that get released at a later date due to being found innocent (or found innocent after death), should be enough to negate any possibility of experimentation. What if we did experiment on these people, without their consent, only to find that some of them were innocent and we've done irreparable damage? (The fact that some are found innocent later is also my sole reason why I think the death penalty should be abolished, but that is a different discussion all together.)

    #t=5m37s "We still need their help to keep people safe". Yeah, the mice must be really glad to help being tested and killed for our needs. Very bad phrasing in this video. If you want to defend animal testing at least admit how unethical and cruel they are.

    She seriously doesn't have a narrator's voice. The downward, raspy inflection at the end of every sentence she says is so distracting.

      I agree, though as long as we're not listening to a 20 minute monologue, it's not terrible. On a somewhat related note, I wonder how they choose the people to put on the camera for their channel?

      I really struggle to get past it. It really is a noticeable trait and it makes it difficult for me to pay attention to what she's saying. Annoying because she otherwise seems like a nice, charismatic girl.

    Why not just use convicted criminals in prison for trials? They've made the choice to be a criminal and therefor should not be considered a part of our society.

      Because criminals are constantly being exonerated all the time and the punishment is the time incarcerated. Effects of medical testing can easily impact the individual long after they've served their time and rejoined society.
