    Here is one organization fighting animal testing. It is interesting that they point our that animal testing is still used even though it supplies results that are not always applicable to humans. I think this could be a really interesting blog topic!

    The entire premise of animal testing is and has been a hot topic for a while now. It poses big ethics questions that can be looked into. However, there was something in the article that said that even if a product blinds an animal, it sometimes is still sold to humans, which raises the question of whether or not animal testing even has a purpose anymore.

    Animal testing is pretty big in the cosmetic world, but we definitely need to relate it back to chemistry some how. I think if we find some sort of connection to chemistry, then we're golden :)

    well in the real world no field of science stands on its own. it is always interwoven with other fields, like chemistry and biology especially since we're looking at cosmetics. this article seems mostly ethics/biology concerned so i don't know how relevant it will be :/

    Yeah, you have a point. But wasn't there a part of the project that we needed to include that related to a field other then chemistry?

    If worse come to worst, we can always relate how an animal absorbs the cosmetics' chemicals differently than humans do (relating it back to chemistry).

    true true so this covers the whole "relating to other fields" topic. and animal chemistry (is there such a thing?) is definitely worth looking at.
