Questioning the value of animal experiments in medicine—and what it means for patients. This book argues that many physiological tests on animals fail to predict how drugs behave in humans. It challenges the idea that animal data should guide medical practice, highlighting confusion, contradiction, and cruelty in some trials.
The author surveys a range of drugs—from opium to nicotine—showing that results in animals do not reliably translate to human medicine. With sharp examples and historical context, the work invites readers to reconsider how medical knowledge is built and how experiments are judged.
Ideal for readers curious about medical history, ethics, and the limits of animal research in science.
