Non-animal Methods.
In science, there are always many ways to

address a given question. Animal experimentation is generally less efficient and

reliable than many non animal methods, which include:

1.Epidemiology (Human Population studies) - Medical research has always sought to identify

the underlying causes of human disease in order to develop effective preventive and therapeutic measures.

2.Studies on Patients - The main source of medical knowledge has always been the direct

study of human disease by closely monitoring human patients.

3.Autopsies and Biopsies - The autopsy rate in the United States and Europe has been

falling steadily, much recognize the value of this traditional research tool.

4.Post-Marketing Surveillance - Thanks to advances in computer techniquea, it is

now possible to keep detailed and comprehensive records of drug side effects.
