You've heard of first-in-human studies. Would you ever try participating in a first-in-animal study? Would you even know if you were in such a study (in other words, do you read the informed consent)? New law allows pharmaceuticals to skip the step that used to require them to test their products in rodents, dogs, monkeys, apes, etc before testing in humans. www.npr.org/2023/01/12/1148529799/fda-animal-testing-pharmaceuticals-drug-development

Thanks for the heads up on this! I do see the "chip testing" model being the future. I'm a bit torn on this decision not to test on animals as they do destroy a lot of animals (including many Beagles as they are a "more docile" breed apparently. It is a bit troubling as a test subject though..however I can't ever recall being the FIRST human to take a drug in a trial as there's always some other trial that did it first or their FDA approved already...but someone has to be the first right!? I do always read my consent and so far haven't seen a trial that is not tested first by animals but soing to look out for for sure.
