Its good to see that im not the only one who sees things this way. the research is indeed a cover up for vivisection. i have personal experience of family members having cancer in different areas of the body yet wholeheartedly disagree with testing on non complying animals where the results are biologically unfounded for human beings. i will not be put in a pink fluffy ribbon to raise yet more money towards the suffering of animals (pulling on the heartstrings of women who have lost family members to cancer - how abusive is that to vunerable women?). cancer research has gone on for many years and indeed, where is the cure? i went to my cancer research lab, which to my horror is near my house. i asked them about their work and their reply was "oh, you like rats do you?" i replied, "its not whether i like rats, rather i do not like them suffering". i am a member of the 'lord dowdings trust' which researches through humane means - biologically relevant testing without harming another creature.....look them up they are affiliated with NAVS (national anti vivisection society). when i tell the mums in the playground about where their raised money goes when they do a fun run, they are horrified and angry as they did not have a clue about the research side. the same goes for many other 'research' programmes - British heart foundation, action research, cystic fybrosis trust, multiple sclerosis society ..... the list goes on and is available from NAVS in a mini card which i show to those raising funds. i whole heartedly agree with this Arjuna!

Prevention is better than cure. Research is one thing, but testing on animals is an outdated, discredited and cruel method whose results are spurious at best. For example, Morphine sedates human beings, makes cats manic, and kills mice stone dead. Good job we didn't rely on animal testing for its effects on human beings! The Cancer Research industry is, in my opinion, a front for vivisection and a scam which has a vested interest in *never* finding a cure for cancer, because if they did, their funding would be no more. It is proven that they have suppressed many genuine natural cures for cancer, because they do not fit the Big Pharma "patent it and make billions" model. I personally would never give a penny to Cancer Research, which is annoying because they have nice shirts in their shops :p Oh well, Oxfam deserve it more ;) Hear hear Arjuna!

I do not agree with your reasons for your non-support. Throughout history the cures for many illnesses have been found through medical research. Well mine is one vote that you will not be getting.
