UK Sets Plan to Phase Out Animal Testing

The UK government wants to stop using animals for most science experiments.

They are giving money to scientists to use new methods like computers (AI) and tiny lab-grown body parts that work like real ones.

They plan to stop testing for some safety checks soon.

They also want to use way fewer dogs and monkeys for testing medicines.

This is good news for animals and science, but some scientists worry it will be hard to stop completely.

They say that sometimes, you need to test on a whole living thing to understand sickness.

However, the government says they will only stop using animals when the new ways are just as safe for people.

The goal is to use animals less and less over time.
