Like every member of my profession, I was brought up in the belief that almost every important fact in physiology had been obtained by vivisection and that many of our most valued means of saving life and diminishing suffering had resulted from experiments on the lower animals. Hailed as the most distinguished surgeon of his day, the originator of many of surgery's modern techniques, and recipient of numerous awards for medical excellence. Atrocious medical experiments are being done on children, mostly physically and handicapped ones, and on aborted foetuses, given or sold to laboratories for experimental purposes. This is a logical development of the practice of vivisection. It is our urgent task to accelerate its inevitable downfall.
Vivisection is barbaric, useless, and a hindrance to scientific progress.
I learned how to operate from other surgeons. It's the only way, and every good surgeon knows that. Normally, animal experiments not only fail to contribute to the safety of medications, but they even have the opposite effect. As if an animal experiment could ever predict the same result on a person. Today's orthodox medicine and suppressive surgery don't understand the purpose of disease and therefore don't know how to treat it.
