Arguments Against Animal Testing
8 million animals die in painful experiment each year. 10% of these animals die without painkiller. Animals are used to test new products to make sure new products are safe for human use. Researchers use animals to test damage to the body. A toxicology report is given:
How much drug is absorbed into the blood
How the medical product is broken down chemically in the human body
Toxicity of product
How quickly product is excreted
New materials require a biocompatibility testing in animal. The FDA regulates animal testing to make research the least violent as possible. Even with regulations, 20 million animals are tested on and killed annually. ¾ die to medical purposes, and ¼ die to various products. Animal testing is constitutive in the research …show more content…
Animals feel pain and should be respected. “The right to be treated with respect does not depend on an ability to reason.” This statement is taught from the beginnings of childhood throughout the lifetime and accepted worldwide. Courtesy, kindness, and respect are lifelong principles; these principles are eternal truths and in accordance with the golden rule; treat others how you would like to be treated.

The same respect shown for human needs to shown to animals while remembering human lives are more important than an animal life. After all, without animal testing, human lives would be at risk. All humans would agree that animal testing is a necessary step of developing a new material or product. Without animal testing, humans could develop the symptoms that the animals should be receiving instead of humans. These may include: a rash, allergic reaction, cell damage, or even brain damage, and some products have the possibility of leading to death. With these examples in mind, it is easy to conclude that animal testing is imperative to product testing; there is no
