Defining Three Rs: Replace Reduce Refine Developing cell and tissue tests, computer models and other sophisticated methods Validating Accepting
animal research that achieves one or more of the three Rs: and refine. Replace the procedures that use animal by a
use animal. Reduce the number of animals used in procedure and refine the procedure to minimize the potential pain in animal. The next step developing belongs to scientists responsibility. New cell, tissue test, computer modelling and other complicated methods are what researchers looking for to replace animal testing. Also, scientists need to validate their new methods. It means they have to prove and evaluate it in multiple laboratories to see if the result is reliable to predict outcome in human. After the method is scientifically proved, it needs to pass the government authorities acceptance (Alternatives to Animal Tests).
education. By using variety of non-animal methods including complicated human-patient simulators, computer simulators, virtual-reality systems, conscience scientists are opening a new landmark for the humanity and effectiveness in medical exploration.
