      I can appreciate how important it is to use animals in science, and alot of the people I work with do. But personally, I cant. I love science, but I love animals even more. I’m not a vegetarian, I eat meat – I just couldn’t hurt an animal, I’d feel too guilty. I’d probably want to take them all home with me! I’m lucky, I can find ways to do my experiments without using animals.
      So the short answer – I will not test on animals, but I won’t stop other people 🙂
