Wawan : So, why are you doing this, Susan?
Susan : I told you, it’s for charity.
Wawan : I know - it’s a ‘Save the dolphin’

charity, isn’t it? Ratna
: No, it isn’t. Look, Wawan, it’s all written here.
Susan : It’s to raise money for a really old
temple in South America which was damaged by an

earthquake last year.
Joko : You’re collecting money for an old
building Wawan :

Proponents of animal

experimentation point to hundreds of years of medical advances
made possible by research on animals.

Treatments for heart disease provide just one example, including open-heart surgery,
in which circulatory functions are temporarily controlled by a heart-lung machine;

coronary bypass to improve blood

muscle; and valve replacement of a defective heart valve. Techniques and

equipment for kidney dialysis were also developed through
animal experimentation. More than 30

drugs for treating cancer,

therapies, were

mice. Vaccines for diphtheria, measles, smallpox, and many
other previously feared

Nations coordinator, Dr David Nabarro, estimated the number of possible human casualties as
5–150 million people? Are you aware that since its discovery in the 1990s the avian
Á u has been contracted by more than 100 people, and one half
of them died? The truth is that it wont cure an infected
individual, but it will prevent a disease. At the moment there is no treatment for the human

break in. You just need to be inoculated in order to prevent an infection that can kill 150 million
people. Your future and the future of the United States depend on your choice. Choose life before
it is too late. Choose vaccination. Thank you 2004, approximately 200 million birds died or
