"Atrocious medical experiments are being made on children, mostly physically and mentally handicapped ones, and on aborted living fetuses given or sold to the laboratories for experimental purposes. This is a logical development of the practice of vivisection. It is our urgent task to accelerate its inevitable downfall."
- Prof. Pietro Croce, M.D, from an address to the International League of Doctors Against Vivisection Symposium, Holland, April 1988.

The following are excerpts from Mobilise! 35 (http://www.nzavs.org.nz/mobilise/35/index.html), March 1993, (newsletter of the NZ Anti-Vivisection Society).

"That the pharmaceutical companies call for human volunteers upon which to test their potions is an open admission that experiments on animals do not work… Experiments on human beings, whether voluntary or otherwise, are ethically invalid. No medical expertise is required to reach this conclusion. In addition they are scientifically inconclusive and misleading. Prof. Croce is the highest in his profession medically, he is also, (probably because of this), the world’s leading medical [vivisection] abolitionist. He is supported by the combined leagues of medical professionals when he asserts that the dispensing of drugs to healthy volunteers is useless from a scientific viewpoint. The body of a healthy volunteer he says is vastly different to the body of a sick person. Even a simple illness he insists can change many if not all the body’s conditions… The only area in which experimentation is scientific and ethical is the science of clinical investigation and its principle applies equally to all species. Until it is restored and re-established as the true principle of healing it was prior to ‘health’ being taken over by the pharmaceutical companies, modern health systems the world over will remain bankrupt and in chaos."

"The history of medicine has shown that, whenever medicine has strayed from clinical observation the result has been chaos, stagnation and disaster."

"We may be able to show that tamoxifen does things in testtubes, we may be able to show that it does things in rats, and we may be able to show that tamoxifen does things in other animals, but in the end we do not know what it does in humans… that’s it - we’ve got to do the experiment."
