Did you know that over 450,000 people in the UK with Type 1 diabetes, rely on insulin which was helped created by rabbits and dogs? Animals are important for science and health. Scientist know that with the right research, any animals can help cure a cancer or disease. Animals like mice and rats can help with curing a lot of diseases and animals can be used to find out new scientific discoveries. Also, some animals have been used to find ways to help with science exploration. Animals are amazing creatures that can be used to help humans with many different health problems.
An important reason that animals should be used for research is, that some hold the key and have helped to curing diseases and cancers. Scientist are close to curing leukemia using mice and rats. Mice have already helped with breast cancer patients because cancer survival rates have gone up. They have helped with the medicine breast cancer patients are using. In addition, there are many other different animals out there that will help cure other diseases and cancers eventually. Another example of animals that can help cure diseases are sharks. Sharks may have the key to curing cancer. An expert named Dareen Al Mojill believes this theory and he believes sharks can help for/in the future. He quotes, “We have learn a great deal from sharks and there are many more potential ideas and projects to come.” Finally, animal research has helped asthma patients. The asthma inhaler was created by using animal research and has helped saved the 25 million people in the US that have asthma. One last cool fact, is that studies show that 96% of general practitioners agree that “animal experiments have made an important contribution to many advances in medicine.” This proves that animals have the key and have helped with curing diseases and cancers.
A major reason that animals are useful when it comes to research is, that they can help find scientific discoveries. For
