Medical Testing on Animals Animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products. Many of these experiments cause pain to the animals involved or reduce their quality of life in other ways. If it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer‚ then experimenting on animals produces serious moral problems. Animal experimenters are very aware of this ethical problem and acknowledge that experiments should be made as humane as possible. It is also known

Animal testing does not support humans in any possible way and is proved by “Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine and several British universities published a paper in the British Medical Journal titled “Where Is the Evidence That Animal Research Benefits Humans?” The researchers systematically examined animal studies and concluded that little evidence exists to support the idea that animal experimentation has benefited humans explains PETA” ( Animal Testing Is Bad‚ 7) The details they share

Animal testing has been the basis of all medicine and disease breakthroughs for over 50 years. Some people believe animal testing is a necessary and useful way to test and discover new products‚ but I believe it is not. Millions of animals are dying or being injured just so scientists can experiment to find new substances and products for humans to use‚ which does not justify for the many lives being lost. Some experiments done on the animals include measuring eye tissue damage‚ the level of skin

In the early nineteenth century‚ animal experiments emerged as an important method of science and marked the birth of experimental physiology and neuroscience as we know it today. It has since become an issue of intense public controversy. Many individuals against animal experimentation claim that animals undoubtedly merit the same amount of consideration and respect as humans and should be treated on the basis of the principles of equality. However‚ there is significant evidence to suggest that

Is Necessary Medical Testing on Animals? Alex Epstein and Yaron Brook’s “The Evil Right of Animals” first appeared in May 19‚ 2001. In this essay Epstein and Brook aim to convince their readers that medical testing on animals is necessary. “Scientist are close than ever to finding cures for AIDS‚ cancer‚ and other deadly illness. But more research and testing are needed and much of it must be done on animals.” (Epstein and Brook qtd.). Pathos‚ specific evidence‚ and logical thoughts are techniques

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

for animal testing is that it aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing‚ including cancer and HIV drugs‚ insulin‚ antibiotics‚ vaccines and many more. It is for this reason that animal testing is considered vital for improving human health and it is also why the scientific community and many members of the public support its use. In fact‚ there are also individuals who are against animal testing

Animal testing is the right thing to do “Animal testing is a type of research that has been going on for hundreds of years dating back to the ancient Greeks. It is used in many different ways‚ but mainly to prevent harm from being brought upon humans” (Hamblin 1). There have been long controversies between animal rights‚ and pros on animal testing‚ and the issue is growing more and more as our science develop more and better. Those who oppose on animal testing argues‚ that animal treatment

Animal Testing and Medical Advancement Every day‚ animals such as rabbits‚ chimpanzees‚ and mice take part of medical experimentation. “Chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans‚ and mice are 98% genetically similar to humans. The United States and Gabon are the only two countries that allow experimentation on chimpanzees.” (The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada). What people don’t understand is that these animals contribute to medical discoveries regarding human health. Animals should be used

Animal Testing Should Cease To Exist There are currently laws in place to protect animals‚ such as dogs and cats‚ from being abused or mistreated. The punishment for breaking this law can be anywhere from a small fine to two years in jail. An exception to these laws are animals used in research facilities. What makes a rabbit in a cage at home any different than a rabbit in a cage at a laboratory? There is no physical difference‚ only the law that decides the treatment they receive and the punishment
