Another research project, now underway at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
  Hill, is called Drug Induced Liver Injury simulation model (DILI-sim). This is taking
  results from testing animals and reverse engineering to develop a computer model for
  testing new drugs in the future.

Answer to Question 1

Would you be comfortable taking a new medication that
had only been tested with this sort of computer simulation testing? Would you be more
comfortable taking medication that had first been tested on animals of some kind? Use
ethical reasoning to develop your answer.



Answer to Question 2

Does the computer
simulation approach seem like the best way to determine which chemicals will be toxic to
humans? Is the testing on animals more promising? How should the risk to animals be
balanced against the risk to humans in this testing? Use ethical reasoning to develop
your answers.
