Escobar and colleagues asked the Navy for details on swine-based diving experiments and whether non-animal alternatives were exhausted.
Quiver AI Summary
Escobar and colleagues question Navy research: Congresswoman Veronica Escobar and three other House members sent a letter to Navy Secretary Hung Cao asking for more information about Navy-funded research that used swine in hyperbaric diving experiments. They said they were concerned about animal testing and wanted to know whether non-animal methods had been fully considered.
Letter asks for details and alternatives: The lawmakers cited a Duke University study involving breathing-gas switches and decompression testing in juvenile swine. They asked the Navy to explain its validation process for alternatives, whether duplicate animal studies are avoided, how many studies are planned, what funding has been allocated, and what steps are being taken to move toward non-animal methods.
Stated rationale: In the letter, they said diver and submariner safety is important but argued that "novel scientific methods and advanced models" should be exhausted before animal testing is approved. They requested a response within 30 days.
