Richard Dawkins

As someone who has dedicated my life to understanding evolution and biology, I strongly believe that eradicating pathogenic human parasites like Malaria, Leishmaniasis, and others is not only scientifically feasible but a moral imperative. These parasites cause immense suffering and loss of human life, and their removal from existence would lead to a significant improvement in global health and quality of life.

While recognizing the historical role of animal testing in advancing medical knowledge, I now believe we have reached a point where the moral cost outweighs the scientific benefit. We must invest in and develop alternative research methods that do not cause suffering to sentient beings.
