Thank you - every little bit counts!

AngelZoo - why would I (or anyone else) take offense at your statement? That's the point that I was wanting to get across - if you want to try a new medicine or treatment, there will be many dying patients who would be happy to give it a burl on the chance that it would help them out. If I were myself a patient suffering from a particular illness, I would be more than happy to do so as it would eliminate any need to experiment on animals.

I fully agree with you AngelZoo in your admiration of researchers who try it on themselves!!
