You
know that something is wrong when dirty laundry is being washed outside the
house. Case in hand: the humongous lie that is called animal testing. Laundry washed:
a team of Canadian scientists publish a new
meta analysis in PLoS Medicine and reach the conclusion that less
than 5% of promising basic science discoveries that claim clinical
relevance lead to approved drugs within a decade, partly because of
flawed pre-clinical animal research. To remedy this predicament the McGill
team urges the life sciences community to adopt a list of 26 guidelines and 55 in
order to improve the quality of such experimentation procedures. Regardless of whether
their original intention is purely methodological (improve the horrendously poor
work ethics of their peers), or ethical (sparing the "sacrificed"
animals), one can only hope that all parties involved in the process of
creating and disseminating scientific data, particularly funding elements and
journal editors, will swiftly adopt the suggested modifications.
