"Animal testing hasn't done shit for helping premature babies. The biggest helps have been trial and error for testing out new technologies on actual premature infants and observing things that work in other countries like kangaroo care, emphasis on breastmilk to imrpove the immune system and minimize reflux and earlier introduction of the breast. " emphasis mine

That's a shocking assertion. So if, say, a new drug or treatment is developed for any of the myriad problems a premature baby faces, you advocate testing the treatment or drug on premature infants. That includes safety and efficacy tests?

Do the testing on premature babies?

And people wonder why some of us find animal-rights zealots to be a scary crowd.
