Here's a radical idea......if they need to do scientific experiments on animals, why don't they use the "animals" on death row. These people on death row will probably never receive the death sentence they were given. They are a liability to society and to taxpayer dollars and they should have to give something back for the lives they have taken. If scientists need to determine how medications, etc. affect humans, why not use humans instead of inflicting this inhumane treatment on God's innocent creatures. To me, animals, especially our domestic pets, give unconditional love. That's more than we as humans give. I would rather take my chances using beauty products, etc. that haven't been tested on animals and still put out there in the market place. I have nine cats, all muts, but if someone took any one of them for scientific experimentation, I wouldn't be responsible for my actions. Animal testing needs to stop now!!

Prisoners, since they are under the control of the state, are considered particularly susceptible to coercive abuse as subjects in clinical trials. As such, prisoners are allowed to be used in clinical trials under only the most stringent of circumstances. To participate in a clinical trial you must be freely volunteering. Experimenting on people who are not volunteers violates every ethical code on the planet. Are you really suggesting we return to a system practiced by the Nazis? I pray you are not serious.
