Not Tested on Animals

By now, we should all be aware of what this statement is truly saying.  When new products are presented, especially in beauty products or health and pharmaceuticals, and the statement "not tested on animals" is on the label, that means it's tested on people . . .

For a time, folks could actually sell their bodies for testing, or I guess rent their bodies to a lab for certain studies, but it would seem as the economy tightens, the drug tests are becoming more lax, or the patients themselves are the guinea pigs.  That has also been going on for some time with subsidies for new pharmaceuticals, but the patients were aware of the risk.

The following articles seem to indicate greater risk is being taken in the trials . . .
