I don't deny for a second that there's been a serious disconnect with big pharma's hippocratic responsibilities and their unfettered greed. This relentless effort to find more and more reasons to get us all on their pills makes me sick too.
But that's not the whole story, of course. I know someone who suffers from a congenital form of arthritis who's had nearly every joint in her body replaced, which has given her a life that otherwise would have been agony from the time she was in her late teens on.
I'm sure she's well aware of the part animals played in the development of the techniques that has made it possible for her to have a full life, and is humbly grateful for it.
