Sacrificing humans to save animals?

The latest issue of Animal Times, the quarterly publication of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, announces the group's grants to companies developing human embryo testing as one of the alternatives to the use of rats and other beasts in product safety tests.
"PETA has given $250,000 to assist in the validation of non-animal test methods to replace existing animal tests," an article in the Winter 1999 edition of the journal says. "PETA awarded a $200,000 grant to the Institute for In Vitro Science (IIVS) in Maryland to support a replacement for the use of rats in lethal dose poisoning tests for chemicals, household products and pharmaceuticals."
BREAK
The literature of the groups and companies active in this area suggest it is time to create human tissue banks as suppliers for expanded experimentation and testing in the future.
A spokeswoman for PETA found no contradiction in its support of organizations involved in human and animal embryo tests.
______________________________________________
Basically PETA support the use of Embryos over rats in poison testing.
For all you who think PETA are a moral and righteous group of people ..then god help humanity.
How anyone can morally accept that it is better to test on a human being instead of an animal needs some serious treatment.
