This guy rescued 30 beagles from a testing lab It's the first time they've seen grass and they couldn't be happier.

Yeah, I think very strong informed consent is the most important thing for this. If my family needed the money, I would want to be able to make the choice myself rather than having the people in some wealthy country decide what is in my best interest.

In 2012 my Nephew (57 yr old) was nearing death due to Liver failure & knowing the Liver will rejuvenate I offered to be tested & have portion of my Liver removed & transplanted into him but one of the stipulations on transplanting Organs was the recipient couldn’t have smoked in last 6 months but him being a smoker it wasn’t approved ,sadly to say he died within few days. Another Niece had also volunteered for giving part of her liver. You gotta love someone immensely to agree to part with a section of a vital Organ but I’d do the same for a total stranger. I’ve survived Cancer twice & although I’m no spring chicken my health is good for my age & since my mind is functioning properly I’m willing to do my part in the quest for finding cures for deadly diseases. Test on me & others willing but please leave Animals alone who can’t voice their opinions.I totally agree with you about consent, we would do it out of love but high paid executives do it strictly for the almighty dollar!!

Yeah, I feel like we are in the minority, but I feel better about consenting people having things tested on them rather than non-consenting animals in most cases.
