Pro-Choice? Animal Testing? I needa debate.

There is a quote of which, at this time, I know neither the author or the exact quote but, paraphrasing, says that you have no real knowledge of what it means to be a pilot until you experience it in real time under real conditions. I think the same point can be made for animal testing. You can hypothesis all you want about how an experiment should go according to what is currently known about physics, biology, chemistry, ect. That does not mean that the expected results will happen or even happen a large percentage of the time. That's why a theory has to be repeated several times under strict control and by different people and even revisited from different viewpoints. Even a hypothesis that is proven so many times that it has essentially become a theory is not an ultimate truth, it just has a high probability of being the truth with the potential to be disproven at any time in the future ... or at least altered to meet a new perspective or new knowledge.
