Bio would then presumptively speak and supplement what Elizabeth Fisher said by adding that humans and animals can catch almost every disease, cold, flue, like a human can, which is why they make good test subjects.
In Ian Sample’s newsletter "Drugs research hampered by substandard animal testing procedures." shows a plethora of data about how scientist skew the research being done. One way that they are doing this is by making a bias study. This means the animals that fail the study, they remove them by stating the animal was not in the proper conditions to go through with the experiment performed on them.
