Soon researchers will do away with the need of testing drugs on animals as a microchip is being developed which will act like a human organ. For quite long, people endorsing the animal rights have been criticizing the scientists for disturbing the health of the animals on the grounds of medical advancement.

Researchers of Harvard University have been bestowed with the responsibility of testing the microchip. These microchips thus connected to each other will function like human body. It has been informed that the microchips would be made by using silicone polymer with microfluidic channels. These silicone polymers would then be injected with human cells.

The researchers are hopeful that the microchips thus formed would save lives of many animals. It has come to light that a funding of $37 million has been made towards the project of microchips. The microchips would originally be created by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are also helping DARPA in the project. It is hoped that the microchips would soon be introduced to the researchers for conducting experiments.
