BIOMEDICAL
RESEARCH BENEFITS
All of us enjoy longer and healthier lives thanks to animal research. In fact, virtually every major medical advance of the last hundred years for both humans and animals has depended on animal research.
Discoveries that we now take for granted, such as organ transplants, open heart surgery, insulin to control diabetes and improved cancer therapies, have been achieved using animal models.
As you read through the list of benefits, you are reminded of the advances we have made for humans and animals by preventing and treating diseases and disorders, and by easing pain and suffering.
Still, many of our greatest challenges lie before us. Medical research is needed to continue the fight against cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis and others. PEOPLE
