This video deals with a difficult issue–the case for testing medicines in animals before they can be tested and used in people. Some may think this is just a question of how much we care about animals. This story aims to show that it's not so simple. Researchers care about animals too. But they have to balance the lives of animals and humans against the use of laboratory animals. It is hoped that those who have seen this film will be better able to make up their own minds.
