Also‚ scientists had found other research methods that can be followed to test the effectiveness of a product such as in vitro (test tube) which is a test method based on human cell (Vitro‚ n.d). Likewise‚ the alternative scientific tests are often more reliable than animal tests because animals are different from human beings and the result can be irrelevant. As can be seen‚ being without any ethics and leading these animals to death are the primary reasons behind why animal testing should

Carl Zimmer discusses the idea of bringing back a species from extinction throughout his essay. With examples such as the Pyrenean ibex‚ mammoths‚ passenger pigeons‚ and gastric brooding frogs‚ he discusses how technology and science have advanced to the point that de-extinction is close to being a reality. Zimmer then shifts to the benefits and problems that could arise if we are able to revive an extinct species. As a result‚ Zimmer raises the question that should we bring back an extinct species

number for quite some time. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service‚ some 1‚135 plants and animals are on the brink of extinction. It is important to make sure that no species die out so as to not upset the environmental balance. When we protect all species‚ we are protecting the entire habitat. Therefore‚ we are maintaining the safety of our own environment as humans. To help protect threatened species‚ then-president‚ Richard Nixon‚ signed into law the Endangered Species Act in 1973. Yet

platypus is an example because over the years it has become vulnerable due to habitat loss caused by man. Deforestation is contributing to threatened habitats. Humans are cutting down trees for reasons such as agricultural land. Trees are not only animal’s homes but they recycle our air and we are constantly chopping them down. Humans have cut down about 80% of the world’s natural forests which were once the home to many animals. The Amazon rainforest in South America is an example of deforestation
