Aysha shares her insights on how animals are mistreated in medical research, and highlights the need for a symbiotic and peaceful relationship with them to promote ethical and sustainable healthcare. We discuss how animal-free precision medicine is a promising alternative that can deliver more reliable and human-relevant results while avoiding the ethical dilemmas and practical limitations of animal testing.
