Does animal experimentation save human lives?!

Well, that's one of the most sad objective out there.
you see, scientists cant just create medicine to help cure our diseases without trying them first, for it can damage our health and it would be very risky.
So in a way, scientists experiments over mouses for example, may save human lives. It is harsh and makes me pretty sad, but there isn't absolute fact of what would be right to do in this situation.

But as long as its for shampoo and other products like that, i always buy only the ones did NOT tried on poor animals. That's the best i can do...

This makes me sad, I love rats. Had them as pets. They are amazing little creatures. It does save lives to test on them, however, since they have the same biology as we do, but live out a human lifespan in under 5 years. They can do long-term effect testing in a few years that would take 70 in human experimentation. As I said yesterday, and was attacked over, there's hardly anything in this world that was not tested on animals. Even that shampoo, which said "not tested on animals", was. Yes, the final product with all the ingredients mixed together as it sits in the bottle was not squeezed on a rat. But, every single ingredient in that bottle individually was tested on some animal at some point. It's impossible to get away from, but buying things that have less/no chemicals and that the final product was not tested on animals is the best option we have in a cruel and heartless world.

poor little rats

Yes, because if a drug is deadly or has bad side effects in the animal models, then they know not to allow it into human trials.
That's what animal trials are for in the first place.
To test safety and see if the drug even works.

Pretty much every medical advancement we have today is because of animal testing.

Yes

yes it does.
