Erasistratus were one of the first people to use animals for experiments. Galen‚ was Greek physician‚ was known as the “father of vivisection” and focused mainly on goats and monkeys after the church didn’t let him continue his experiments on human corpses. A vivisection is performed for experimental purposes on living organisms to study the internal living structure. Human vivisection has been a form of torture in the past. Avenzoar was the first to bring up animal testing as an experimental method by testing

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Why are they Used is Heavy Vehicles? ABS is used to prevent car and truck accidents on our roads. Looking at statistics‚ it can be said that the introduction of ABS has reduced the amount of accidents involving heavy vehicles on our roads‚ decreasing the number of fatalities. If we are able to prevent crashes‚ this will save a lot of people’s money on repairs. Another reason that ABS is good on heavy vehicles is the saving in tyre wear. It is estimated that ABS

Estimates exist that state one hundred million animals are used for experimentation world wide per year‚ which is about 274‚000 per day‚ or three every second (“Vivisection”). Rats‚ mice‚ guinea pigs‚ dogs‚ monkeys and rabbits are just a few of the types of animals used by companies and universities to test the safety of drugs and other newly developed products. These animals come from “factory farms” and are sometimes

Animal testing goes all the way back to the ancient times of the Greeks and Romans. Doctors would dissect animals in hopes of obtaining new knowledge. These animals lived a life of daily confinement. The only change in their lives came from being called into a research experiment that would eventually end in death. During the research and testing these animals would be subjected to experiments‚ including everything from injecting with new diseases‚ poisoning the animals‚ burning their skin along

Chapter Four ABS Training 4.1 What is ABS? Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is a combination of vehicle hardware and software that work together to maintain steering control and vehicle stability during hard braking. Initially developed as a special option for topof-the-line models‚ today’s ABS units are compact‚ easy to service‚ inexpensive and widely available.

Actually a few months ago the Director of Research Defence Society‚ (which exists to defend vivisection) was asked if medical progress could be achieved without animal use. His written reply was ’I am sure it could be’. The DRDS also said that at least 450 methods exist with which we can replace animal experiments. By using blood from human volunteers

This article examines some of the ethical and practical issues involved in animal research. Ethical Issues In terms of ethics‚ the main issue in animal testing is simply that many experimental animals suffer in ways which are unnatural to them. Through the use of genetic manipulation‚ obese mice ‚ diabetic mice‚ and mice with Huntington’s disease can be created. Surgical experiments can be performed on larger animals – such as pigs‚ sheep‚ and dogs‚ as “practice” for human surgery. Normally

George Bernard Shaw‚ an Irish critic and political activist‚ once said “Vivisection is a total evil because it advances human knowledge; it does so at the expense of human character.” Nowadays‚ the development of new procedures has changed the need to test on animals‚ yet it is continued in vain. Moreover‚ the use of animals in
