The U.S. wants to phase out animal research. Are the alternatives ready?
Drug and chemical safety can be assessed with AI and organ chips, but some scientists say it’s too soon to forgo animal methods entirely

Is This the End of Animal Testing? FDA Announces Plans to Phase Out Animals in Drug Safety Studies
Organoids, organs-on-a-chip, and machine learning technologies have improved dramatically in recent years, but have they come far enough to replace animal research?

Ontario wants to ban dog and cat testing. That's great—for those animals. But the plan does nothing to stop labs from harming other species.
Selective empathy isn’t justice. It’s speciesism—and it props up the animal research industry entire system.

Protecting “Pets” While Hurting Others? That’s Not Justice
Ontario’s proposed dog and cat testing ban exposes a deeper problem in the animal research system: selective empathy that leaves millions unprotected.

Animal experiments mislead medical research and fail to predict human drug effects about 95% of the time.
Human-relevant methods—like organ-on-a-chip and AI modeling—are safer and more accurate.

"Welfare" in a laboratory setting means "whatever we personally think is acceptable to achieve our own goal".
It's intended to mislead the public because it sounds pleasant. Only a fool can look images and videos of animals in labs and call it "humane". Words can deceive, our eyes see what is.

Welfare standards in animal research represent the minimum.
They aim to reduce suffering within animal use, not challenge whether animal use is necessary at all.
Our view is that welfare is the foundation. But replacement is the future.
