Animal testing
Does animal testing work?
Yes-
1. Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines against diseases like rabies, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and TB.
2. Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing methods aren't advanced enough.
3. Scientists claim there are no differences in lab animals and humans that cannot be factored into tests.
4. Operations on animals helped to develop organ transplant and open-heart surgery techniques.
No-
1. Animal experiments can be misleading. An animal's response to a drug can be different to a human's.
2. Successful alternatives include test tube studies on human tissue cultures, statistics and computer models.
3. The stress that animals endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless.
4. Animals are still used to test items like cleaning products, which benefit mankind less than medicines or surgery.
Then u can focus on -
Is animal testing morally right?
Yes-
1. Human life has greater intrinsic value than animal life. 2.Legislation protects all lab animals from cruelty or mistreatment.
3. Millions of animals are killed for food every year - if anything, medical research is a more worthy death.
4. Few animals feel any pain as they are killed before they have the chance to suffer.
No-
1. Animals have as much right to life as human beings.
2. Strict controls have not prevented researchers from abusing animals - although such instances are rare.
3. Deaths through research are absolutely unnecessary and are morally no different from Murder.
4. When locked up they suffer tremendous stress. Can we know they don't feel pain?
I am sending u more details but I dont know why it is not
