I'm talking about times when it's unnecessary *cough*most of the time*cough*. It's actually possible that when a animal survives it may cause a human to die in the same way.
The two major alternatives to in animal testing are in vitro cell culture techniques and in silico computer simulation(aka using it on a computer simulation to see what'd happen to a human with a 95% success rate).
Also a third alternative now attracting considerable interest is so-called microdosing, in which the basic behaviour of drugs is assessed using human volunteers receiving doses well below those expected to produce whole-body effects.
