Synopsis

Cancer has long been cured in mice but not in people. Why? Successful laboratory treatments and cures for one species don't necessarily result in cures for humans. But, because practice has become economically entrenched within medical industry, animal experimentation -against all medical evidence- continues.The human benefits of animal experimentation- a bedrock of the scientific age- is a myth perpetuated by an amorphous but insidious network of multibillion-dollar special interests: research facilities, drug companies, universities, scientisits, and even cage manufacturers.C.Ray Greek, Md, and veterniary dermatologist, Jean Swingle Gree, Dmv, show how the public has been deliberately misled and blow the lid off the vested-interest groups whose hidden agendas put human health at risk.
