In today’s time we have the technology to test on computerized patient simulators that are more accurate than animals. Animals don’t have a choice to be experimented on‚ and humans need to help stop that. Animal testing should be illegal because it

    According to Rilling (2014)‚ understanding the evolution of the unique characteristics of the human brain requires studying the brain of other living primate species.
