Early on‚ the elimination of animal testing was unfeasible because it was the only available source. However‚ technology advancements in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have introduced alternative methods that are often cheaper and more relevant to humans. William Russell and Rex Burch first introduced the 3R’s of animal research in 1959. These R’s stand for the reduction‚ refinement‚ and replacement of the use of animals in research and testing. Many alternative methods that have come forward

I think human testing is good because of these reasons. Without human testing we most likely wouldn’t be here today. Testing on animals isn’t always accurate. Doctors wouldn’t know if the newest vaccine will work on a human being if they just tested it on animals. Even if we test it on our closest genetic ancestors (i.e. Apes)‚ we wouldn’t be sure if the medicine works on humans. Apes are underdeveloped and live in the wild‚ so they’re able to withstand the obstacles the environment throws at

Although there better alternative options. If you weigh the pros and cons to animal testing it is clear that animal testing is wrong‚ even if there have been outcomes that have turned out well. Even though animal testing can help create cures‚ they have shorter life cycles‚ and sometimes finding cures for them‚ vitro testing‚ animals

On average‚ 26 million animals are tested every year for commercial and scientific testing in the United States. Animals are tested to develop cures and treatments‚ check safety of human designed products‚ and toxicity of medications. Research on living animals has been done since at least 500BC. Although animal testing is wrong - because it is cruel and humane - there is no need for testing on poor innocent creatures when there are alternative testing methods. 95% of animals used in experiments are

Animal testing has been used for centuries to improve the lives of humans since 322 B.C. by greek and roman physicians‚ Aristotle and Erasistratus. These greek and roman physicians first performed animal testing with dissections to obtain more knowledge about the animals they chose to test in their experiments.
