Many products tested on animals are actually harmful to humans. We knowingly research products on animals, even though data shows that animal testing is not a reliable source. Using modern testing techniques such as Episkin, which is a human skin cell model, we can detect how humans react with an accuracy rate of 95%. And Epiderm correctly detected all of the chemicals tested that irritate human skin, while the rabbit tests misclassified 10 of the 25 chemicals tested (“Alternatives” 1). We can get results in minutes with modern tests where animal testing takes years and is very expensive. What happens when we desperately need a cure for a disease, but we just wasted 3 years and billions of dollars testing a drug that ultimately didn't work
