Frogs were used in pregnancy tests from 1930 to 1950. The doctor would obtain a woman’s urine sample and test it on the hind leg of the frog. If the frog produced eggs, then pregnancy hormone was present. The large number of frogs caused environmental problems after they were released due to the fungus that they brought. I am okay with animal testing as long as it doesn’t cause any harm.
