R&D toxicity test to be eliminated

Article Abstract:

The author discusses the collaboration between the animal rights organizations and scientists in the US joining a worldwide movement to eliminate the use of the lethal dose -50 test, a toxicity test used on animals. The test that determines the dosage of a chemical and kills half the animals in the test group has been phased out internationally and will no longer be used for classification and labeling of drugs and chemicals.
