Michael Anders	There will never be a replacement of animal drug testing. It is an integral component of every drug development program. The safety and efficacy needs to be demonstrated in various animal species before the clinical trials can begin. Software exists to predict metabolites, but this is only an aid for better drug design. I am a scientist of one of the largest pharamceutical companies in the world, and I can assure you that animal testing can never be replaced, although we try to minimize them as much as possible. Who ever claims that this would be possible one day obviously is not in that business. Michael Anders, PhD	4/27/2008
