Should Chipanzees Have Chimps Used For Research Purpose?
SHOULD ENDANGERED SPECIES CHIMPS USED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSE?
Along the years, chimps are the most used animal in world of science apart from other animals such as rabbits, mice and guinea pig for research purpose. In recent years, the general public, lawmakers and scientists have expressed increasing discomfort over the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research. Today it would be considered morally unacceptable to carry out many of the experiments that were done on them in the recent past. Some of the procedures that made chimps suffer are removed or destroyed portions of their brains to test brain function, killed them and removed their organs to be used for human transplants, exposed them to huge doses of radiation, castrated and removed their pituitary glands, followed by hormone analysis and placed electrodes …show more content…
