Morons. This bill is meant to allow BPs to cut corners and lead to human misery and deaths. Testing on multiple mammalian species reduces the chance that we provide a novel drug that messes up children for life. There's nothing to be happy about. There's nothing trivial about testing drugs in systemic environments. No amount of modeling and small tests beats the complex microenvironment of animals. We only know <1% of the body. Anyone claiming more is a liar.

Yeah, but since the FDA now responds to failed animal tests by suppressing the results and approving the drug anyway, what are animal tests still needed for?
