Peter Tatchell

The BBC and the radio listings seem to have accepted pro-gay activist Peter Tatchell's re-branding of himself as "Human Rights Campaigner".

Have just been listening to him spouting utter nonsense on Any Questions. Asked about the testing of drugs, his response was that he wouldn't take part in a trial of a drug which had previously been tested on animals since the physiological differences are too great to make it a reliable trial. Well done, Peter! That's why it's called a human trial. What's the alternative, not testing it on animals at all, just go straight to humans? Hmm, like that'll be safer!

Or - his idea, when pushed to see the ludicrous logic of his position - lets have computer simulated trials and then give new drugs to people.

Think I'd still prefer a rat to try it first, Peter.

So, let me be clear Ros, you're suggesting that Peter Tatchell tries all drugs before they're tested on humans?
