Animal testing - still necessary?

from This and that. A class podcast. Hosted by Digital Communication Skills

More than 115 million animals die each year because of animal testing. How can we live in the era of new technologies and still continue to allow the abuse of so many animals? In this podcast I`m going to talk about the new technologies that have been invented in the past years to reduce the amount of animal experiments: computer-simulation, human simulators and 3D-organoids with human cells. I will also discuss wheter these technologies will succeed in abolishing animal experiments. A podcast produced by Sofia RF. Sound effect: Circle DR Valga (Anchor).
