Summary

As a society, we care for animals and are sympathetic to their pain. However, in the science sphere, we are more likely to overlook severe suffering because of the perceived benefits of animal testing.

Dr. Rebekah Humphreys argues that we have an obligation to end severe animal suffering. And, thanks to animal-free in vitro tests that are now available, we can.
