So, Jackie, you want to be the "practice" subject for the next generation of surgeons? Everyone, I want to go on record as hating the use of animals for research and medical purposes...but I am also a realist. I realize that there is a lot of bad research being done to feed egos and get publsihed...but there is also a lot of good work being done. How do you think your surgeon learned his/her craft? They practice on animals. I sure wouldn't want my surgeon doing heart surgery on me after only having experienced some computer modeling program.

Want to save humans, test on humans. I know I'm in the minority on that one. -- Jackie Marcato Shepherds Where beauty is found in function http://www.jackieshort.com ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2008.
