Animal Testing Advantages
Apart from that, animal testing also has poor results in both drug testing experiment or medical research. This is because the anatomic, metabolic and cellular differences of animal and human are very much different from each other which makes them as poor test subject for human beings. Consequently, these absurd experimentation are unable to generate and predict accurate result that may occur in human beings. For instance, cancer has an abysmal record of failures where both humans and animals react differently when tested with carcinogens (Greek, 2007). Besides, potential cures and medicine could also be ignored due to the sole dependency on animal testing. It could deceive scientist to overlook the benefits of some medicine. Aspirin for
example, can be used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain is found to be harmful to some animal species. These promising drugs may get discarded off from markets even when they cause problems which are not related for human. Not to mention, the long history of experiment on primates which mislead scientists about how rapidly Human Immunodefiency Virus (HIV) replicates resulting in mistreatment and lost lives (Newkirk, 2004). As for medical research purpose, Furlong, the professor of Clinical Neuroimaging stated that it is hardly possible to replicates the condition of a patient on an animal model (as cited in Society, 2009). In other words, it is almost impossible to create an animal testing subject which is able to acquire the same condition with the patient suffered from diseases. This implies that animal testing can barely provide any means of cure for any newly discovered diseases.
