Oh, and where does this thing about the veggies come in? I never said anything about "forms of life" or greater than or lesser than creatures, so I'm not sure if I missed something in someone elses' post, but I reiterate the initial post had nothing to do with the food chain, greater than or lesser than lives, or anything. I already know where I stand on animal testing. I also already know where I stand on taking medications that were tested on animals. I respect that they have died so that I may have the medication that keeps me alive. I wish there were another way, but there is not.
This post had to do with how I may deal with such a moral dillema, if that's even possible with regarding to wanting to raise funds for CFF. I do appreciate the respectful and courteous responses I have gotten. You have allowed me to see different perspectives and I have certainly given them all some thought. Allie has also gone out of her way to check into options for giving to CFF so my donations would not be used directly for research and I may feel a bit better about it. You all really have moved me in your thoughtfullness and kind words.
Thank you. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
