Sniffling Mice?

We're in the heart of cold and flue season again. It is estimated that some 60 million people in the U.S. will get the flu each year during this stretch from November to April. And millions more will get colds. It's time to get your flu vaccine, stock up on cold medications and hope for the best. I recently got a bad head cold and I remember thinking, "We can replace people's hearts and perform surgery on their brains but we can't figure out how to kick a simple rhinovirus!!" Well...a group of scientists from Britain think they may be able to change that with the help of some sniffling mice.

Where are your ethics?

How can you support testing on animals or see this as progress...they are sentient beings who are routinely killed, tortured and suffer...often in vein as theire biologies are so different then ours....never mind labratory contiditions being so different then the way we lead our lives...which OF COURSE factors into how we manage with cold viruses...shame on you.
