I personally don't have the answer for "the other way" BUT I think we should strive for a better way and I know there are very intelligent people out there that if given enough research "money" they can find a way.

There are better tests to check for breast cancer but because they cost
A LOT more than the mammogram we continue to use the mammogram as the primary form of testing.
That is my point-it usually comes down to money with everything.
Most of the greatest inventions in the world came from people working in their own homes without research grants.

Money, recognition, and power have motivated people to invent great things just as much as necessity and creative drive.

I agree with Ellie May's post. In many cases, using animals, dogs, for lab testing is often unavoidable if we want safe, effective medications and health treatments.
