They say instead of using animal laboratories, use Pharmagene laboratories. However, I am wanting to know where do Pharmagene Laboratories get the human tissue at? Embryos? Off a volunteers leg muscle tissue?Can you prove your fact too for me.Thanks!

Actually you pretty much covered most of the types of tissues that are used by Pharmagene labs. Human tissue is through donations - usually donations are body donations where upon death your body is given over to science. in this case science will take and preserve what tissues they can use, giving organs to people in need (if the donor's organs are fit). Some research is done on aborted fetal tissue. Granted Stem Cell research is not allowed (by law) but other, um, tests are still done using fetal tissue. Circumcisions or the product left over (the foreskin) are also another source of human tissues that are used by labs and researchers. All of this is well and good for tissue tests, however there are full organism tests that still need to be done. The newer drugs (as example) coming out affect far much more than just the target region that the drug is designed for.
