This weekend Swiss voters will go to the polls over whether animal and human testing should be banned in the country. The proposal would outlaw experiments not only on animals but on humans too, as well as ban the importation of new drugs developed through such means. Is this something we should also consider in Ireland? 

To discuss further Ciara was joined on the show by Laura Broxon Spokesperson for Ireland's National Animal Rights Association and Tomás Ryan, Associate Professor in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity College Dublin.
