Vegan / Vegetarian Tests

Free Cruelty Tests

Not just vegans but anyone who is sensitive to animal rights is sensitive to seeking alternative solutions instead of cruelty testing. Not testing products on animals does not mean putting human patients at risk. It also does not mean stopping medical progress. Instead, abandoning the animals used in testing would also improve the human quality of science.

In recent years, the development of non-animal testing methods has accelerated. Thanks to innovations in science, animal testing is increasingly being abandoned in areas such as toxicity testing, neuroscience, and drug development. However, there are still many steps to be taken.

When new non-animal testing methods are developed, there are often some bureaucratic obstacles to their application. One of the most important jobs the Cruelty Free International science team does is to encourage regulators to accept the use of non-animal methods to replace animal testing.

Cell cultures, human tissues, computer models and volunteer studies are the leading non-animal tests.

In the cell cultures method, almost all types of human and animal cells are grown in the laboratory. Scientists are developing three-dimensional structures such as miniature human organs that will provide a more realistic way to test new treatments. In these studies, human cells were used to build tiny devices called organs on chips.

They are used in place of animals to study drug metabolism as well as biological and disease processes. Devices that accurately mimic the lungs, heart, kidneys and intestines are produced. Cell cultures have been at the center of developments in areas such as cancer, kidney disease, and AIDS, and are routinely used in chemical safety testing, vaccine production, and drug development.

Tissue, both healthy and diseased, donated from human volunteers is seen as a more appropriate way to study human biology and disease than animal testing. Human tissue is ligated through biopsies, cosmetic surgery, and transplant operations. For example, skin models made from reconstructed human skin have been developed and used to replace animal testing.

With the increasing complexity of computers, the ability to model or reproduce certain aspects of the human body becomes increasingly possible. Computer models of the heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, and digestive, musculoskeletal systems are already being made. Computer models are used to run virtual tests based on available knowledge and mathematical data.

Meanwhile, voluntary studies are increasingly replacing animal testing. Thanks to advances in technology, sophisticated scanning machines and recording techniques are being developed that are used to safely study human volunteers. Today, imaging machines that can see inside the brain are used to monitor the progression and treatment of brain disease.

These systems help researchers understand the causes of illness by comparing them to healthy volunteers. On the other hand, a technique called microdosing is used in volunteers to understand how potential new drugs behave in very small doses in the human body. These studies replace animal testing and provide the clear advantage of being able to describe how people feel.

At the point reached today, it is seen that non-animal methods are better than animal tests. For example, raw skin allergy tests in guinea pigs and mice detect human reactions at 72 percent and 82 percent. But a combination of chemistry and cell-based alternative methods pinpoints human reactions with over 90 percent accuracy. Likewise, the skin irritation test applied to rabbits determines only 60 percent of human skin reactions. However, the use of reconstructed human skin is 86 percent accurate.

Testing on pregnant rats to determine whether chemicals or drugs could harm the developing baby only detects 60 percent of the hazardous substances. Whereas, a cell-based test has 100 percent accuracy in detecting very toxic chemicals.

Like these, a long-term mouse test to see if a substance is cancerous to humans predicts 42 percent of human cancer, while a cell-based test predicts 90 percent of known human carcinogens.

In short, many tests on animals have been replaced by superior analytical chemistry methods in recent years.
