Non-animal research techniques are not only more ethical than animal experiments, they can also offer greater scientific relevance, repeatability and accuracy. In addition they are often faster and cheaper to perform. The government claims that replacing animal experiments is the end goal and yet lobbyists know this is unlikely to happen with any urgency without an explicit and targeted government timetable.
