Anti-vivisection & animal rights

• Europeans for Medical Progress

  http://www.curedisease.net/

Europeans for Medical Progress is an independent, not-for-profit organisation of scientists and medical professionals. Its goal is to protect human health by promoting human-specific medical research. There is overwhelming evidence that animal experiments provide results that, when applied to humans, can prove misleading or fatal. These tests exhaust precious research funding, waste valuable time, produce ineffective solutions, and delay progress toward human cures.

Safer Medicines (Europeans for Medical Progress Film) showcases state-of-the-art approaches to ensuring that drugs in the future will be safer than they have been in the past. World leading scientists from industry and academia present their vision for the future of drug development – with a focus on human biology.
