Two highly respected experts on the subject will tackle that issue in a debate sponsored by The Capital Times.
Ray Greek, a retired anesthesiologist, author of three books on the use of animals in human disease and drug research and
president of Americans for Medical Advancement, insists that animal research is useless to predict human results.
He will square off with UW-Madison Prof. Eric Sandgren, an animal researcher and chair of two animal research oversight
committees on campus, who argues that human medical advances have been made as a result of research using animals. ]]>

Arlington, located about 20 miles north of Madison, holds cropland, greenhouses, and livestock laboratories and housing. Through close working relationships, Arlington provides support and coordination to the smaller groups which make up the main research station system of UW.
These smaller groups include dairy scientists strategizing nutritional programs that will prevent fatty liver and ketosis; animal scientists conducting nutritional, physiological, and genetic studies on beef cattle, swine, and sheep; poultry scientists exploring biotechnology; veterinary scientists studying animal health and reproduction; as well as plant scientists; plant pathologists; soil scientists; and entomologists.
The animal facilities at Arlington fall under the College of Agricultural & Life Sciences Animal Care and Use Committee oversight. In early 2007, it earned full accreditation from the non-profit organization, Association for Assessment and Accreditation of of Laboratory Animal Care International.
That organization promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs.
"The organization works to guide agricultural and biomedical animal research programs to accreditation, despite their name referencing laboratory animals. Overall, by choosing to become an accredited animal care program, the College of Agricultural & Life Sciences has worked to assure both animal and human welfare in research labs and in agricultural settings, incorporating best management and veterinary practices and continually addressing animal and human safety, personnel training, and supportive physical plant needs."
Gail Stirr, Research Compliance Specialist, CALS Research Division.
Arlington has an open door policy and encourages visitors.
If you are interested in taking your own tour, or have questions for the farmers and researchers, the Arlington Agricultural Research Station can be contacted at N695 Hopkins Rd., Arlington, WI 53911 or (608) 846-3761.
