      That is an interesting question. There are really strict regulations for using animals for experiments and you have to have a licence to do so. A lot of researchers are trying to avoid using live animals in there research and I personally have never carried out experiments on live animals. I think that other methods should be used when possible but sometimes it is just just not possible to test medical treatments on human volunteers without having looked at the animal response first.
