The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals A book review by NARN member Russell Darin Bacha. The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals is the product of a decade-long pursuit by C. Ray Greek, MD, and Jean Swingle Greek, DVM to question the scientific validity of animal experimentation, and present their findings to the public, layman and medical professional alike. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Non-human animals used in animal experimentation are meant to be sufficiently similar to humans in their anatomy, physiology, or response to a pathogen, chemical, surgical technique, or environmental condition such that they may be used to obtain knowledge that can be extrapolated to humans. They are used to learn about and test treatments for diseases, safety of drugs and consumer products, and effectiveness of drugs and vaccines as they are applied to humans.
