“Animal-based research has led to important advances in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, and diabetes.” (Hunnicutt, 2013). For example, childhood Leukemia used to be nearly impossible to survive. Now because of animal experimentation, children diagnosed today have an 80% survival rate.
