Title: Should Animal Experimentation be Abandon?
I Introduction
Thesis Statement: Animal testing is a debatable issue in modern society. Some people argue that animal testing should be kept due to medical benefits and research study conveniences. However, I think animal experimentation should be banned by refuting supporters’ arguments.
II Body A. Opposing argument 1
Animal experimentations are conducted for human health.
Rebuttal to this argument:
Animal testing can cause serious problems regarding to human health. a. The results of animal experimentation are often inconclusive and cannot be accurately applied to human. b. Animal drug testing causes a lot of dangerous side effects.
B. Opposing argument 2
Animal experimentation is vital for research purposes.
Rebuttal to this argument:
Ethnics problems: Are humans too selfish? a. Animal testing can be extremely cruel and inhumane. b. Examples to illustrate the cruelly experiments conducted on animals. c. Animals deserve the equal rights as humans.
C. Opposing argument 3
There are no effective alternatives to animal experimentation.
Rebuttal to this argument:
The facts of efficient non-animal methods and relevant benefits. a. Examples of successful alternative methods. b. Lists of possible technology as alternative methods. c. The benefits of non-animal methods.
III Conclusion Animal Testing should be banned due to its cruelness, moral issues and the existence of effective alternative methods.
