After years of refusing to debate physicians and animal advocates, UCLA vivisectors are again being challenged to publicly debate, on campus and in full view of students, faculty and the press, their outdated, scientifically fraudulent, and cruel practices experimenting on non-human animals. The scientific merits of abandoning animal research are widely accepted, and will be intelligently and vigorously defended by physician Ray Greek, M.D.
Earlier this week, UCLA primate experimenter David Jentsch announced his formation of Pro-Test UCLA, a group of faculty and administrators who intend to defend the university's ongoing practice of killing animals, including non-human primates, as they addict them to methamphetamines, PCP, and nicotine. None of the supporters of animal experimentation have provided specific evidence their research will ever effectively treat human disease, nor have they previously been willing to discuss or consider the use of more modern research techniques that no longer involve killing animals.
Contacted at Americans For Medical Advancement, Dr. Ray Greek, an anesthesiologist and outspoken critic of animal experimentation solely on the grounds of its scientific inefficacy, states "I am more than willing to participate in a debate on the science behind using animals to predict human response to disease and drugs. A debate about the ethics of animal experimentation will be more informed if the science is clear before-hand. I look forward to a conversation based on science and reason if UCLA Pro-Test advocates have a capable representative and are willing to publicly state their flawed position."
