complicated arguments out of the issues that circulate in the debate of animal experimentation. The defendants would argue that animals cannot be considered morally equal to humans. Most would comment something along the lines‚ “There is a hierarchy in nature‚ and denying it is not warranted” like Tibor R. Machan would describe the argument. The human moral community‚ for instance‚ is often characterized by a capacity to manipulate abstract concepts and by personal autonomy. Since most animals do not

Animal Research has been around for nearly 90 years and continues to show success as time moves along. For those who believe that history will repeat itself‚ they believe that animal testing has shown and will continue to show succes‚ but for those who believe in alternatives‚ they believe it should come to an end.

“It is one thing to say that the suffering of a nonhuman animal‚ just as the suffering of us humans‚ is a bad thing in itself.

In this paper I am going to argue that Singer is right to claim that human suffering and animal suffering should be given equal consideration. I believe that animals have the capacity to suffer‚ as human do there is no difference in suffering because we are of different species. Whether we are humans are non-humans we have the capacity to feel pain. Exposition 514 Singer argues that humans practice speciesism and it’s no different from racism and sexism.

Though there is a growing case against animal testing‚ there are those who fully stand behind it. Their arguments defending the concept are most often centered around ethics of testing. For starters‚ the FDA mandates that all drugs go through a series of tests‚ most often on animals‚ before they are allowed to be released to the public for consumption (Ericson‚ 2014‚ a). With these laws in place‚ people claim that animal testing must continue to be accepted so that new drug developments can continue
