Animal and human experiments are permitted in Switzerland. A popular initiative has been submitted to ban animal and human experiments. If the popular initiative is accepted, animal and human experiments may no longer be carried out in Switzerland. Under certain conditions, however, first-time use of medicines and therapies in humans and animals is permitted.
In favour
Animal and human experiments are carried out for false motivation. The focus is not on health, but on economic and legal interests.
Against
Animal testing is the only testing option in certain areas of medical research. You must remain allowed.
