Ruiz Daylen Elosegui Extra Credit 02-20-2013 The Ethics of Animal Testing Years ago‚ while laws were not in place to prevent testing on animals‚ some researchers experimented on animals. The results of these experiments are still with us today. Insulin for example‚ was discovered when an Ontario doctor severed the connection between the pancreas and the digestive system of a dog.1 Today there are still many animals in labs being tested to find treatment for anything from
Premium Utilitarianism
Hundreds of animals are tested on and are used for human entertainment yearly. The ethics of animal testing has always been questioned. Many people look at animals as companions while others only see them beneficial if they are used to advance medical techniques or further research. Some people do not want to think of animals as on the same level as humans. Animals may not be able to speak and are not thought to have the same ability of thinking as humans‚ but they do not deserve to be tested on

Ethics essay Introduction According to Home office (2017) animal testing “remains a vital tool” especially when carrying out research into diseases and in developing “new medicines‚ treatments and technologies”. Scientists state that animal testing is effective as animals are biologically similar to humans and so can provide scientists with ‘important clues about diseases’ Animal testing also means new drugs can be tested for possible side effects‚ before the drug is given to humans in clinical

scientists to use live animals in research for medicine that can be used to cure humans. Today we continue to use animals in experiments to learn more about health problems that affect both humans and animals and to ensure the safety of new medical treatments. Now that we know the purpose of animal testing‚ is it really worth killing millions of innocent animals? This practice is morally wrong and inconsiderate of us for letting this happen. People should stop using animals as experiment subjects

Biotechnology Paper Biotechnology products are the yield of engineering labors that process biological material and agents to produce a modified biological substance. Examples of biotechnology drugs are monoclonal antibodies and recombinant DNA. Monoclonal antibodies are important reagents in the treatment and diagnosis of disease. They have been used for diagnosis of pregnancy‚ detection of presence and concentration of drugs in the blood‚ histocompatibility assay‚ and detecting shed tumor antigens

She was actually born a few months earlier on July 5‚ 1996. The world was certainly awed when the first superstar sheep Dolly was introduced. It was that date in history when the world first heard about successful

nuclear transfer" (SCNT). In this process‚ scientists transfer genetic material from the nucleus of a donor cell from the animal to be cloned. This material is transferred into an egg whose nucleus has been removed. This new egg must be treated with chemicals or electric current to stimulate cell division. The embryo is then transferred to the uterus of a female host animal that carries it till birth. (Oak Ridge) As a side note‚ the researchers at Roslin named their sheep Dolly after Dolly Parton
