the topic of animal testing‚ most of us will readily agree that it is a debatable topic. Where this agreement usually ends‚ however‚ is on the question of whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that it does help researchers find new drugs and treatments‚ others maintain that some drugs tested on animals may never actually be useful or even safe for human consumption.

Animal testing is a major debate in today’s society‚ but it is not just a problem of today. Animal testing dates back the 1800’s when Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory served to suggest that animals could serve as effective models to facilitate biological understanding in humans.
