Testing
Continued from Page 1
promise of in vitro methods,
which take place within a cell cul
ture, eliminating the need for live
animals.
Bartlett said testing on animals
has moved from the primitive,
"risk versus benefit" criteria to a
situation of "informed consent"
with humans adopting a surrogate
responsibility for making higher
moral decisions.
"It's important to refine, re
place or reduce the number of ani
mals used in testing," Bartlett
said, but it should not be at the
cost of scientific progress.
Bartlett said while 20 million
animals are killed during the
course of experimentation, five
billion are used for food and 420
million are killed because of mo
torists or abandonment.
The public is being misled by
certain manufacturers who adver
tise that their products are cruelty-
free Bartlett said because they
may be dodging their ethical re
sponsibilities by not testing.
Other companies deceive the
public by using third-party testing
centers while others claim their
products are already safe, and
testing is no longer needed, he

said.
Bartlett said products on the
market should be periodically
tested, even after years of use, be
cause of the possibility of formula
mutations, and "things science
doesn't even know about."
Bartlett called attempts to de
cide whether animals have moral
rights a "philosophical muddle,"
and while he acknowledged the
cruelty of some tests, he said it's
not logical to sacrifice human be
ings over animals.
Some animal right's groups are
confusing animal welfare with an
imal rights, he said, and their idea
of abandoning animal testing and
allowing humans to use products
at their own risk is a contradic
tion.
Of extremist groups, Bartlett
said, "they're very astute guerrilla
warfare folks who only care for
their point of view. Their presen
tation to me is not moral."
Bartlett called biotechnology
one of the most promising scien
tific fields and applauded people
who wanted to "preserve their
right to help the human race."
