Some alternative methods including computer modeling and in vitro testing are more accurate‚ more humane‚ and much

“The question is not‚ “Can they reason?” nor‚ “Can they talk?” but‚ “Can they suffer?” – Jeremy Betham. According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)‚ over 100 million animals including mice‚ rats‚ frogs‚ dogs and cats are killed in laboratories for testing purposes. Animal testing has been a controversial subject for years now. Some believe that cosmetics‚ medicines‚ and health care products should be tested on animals to ensure their safety; on the other hand many believe that

biological child as the only path to parenthood‚ negating the fact or reality that infertile couples can also utilize adoption to procreate and create a family. Adoption has also shrunk dramatically‚ as a result of advent of technologies such as Intro-Vitro Fertilization‚ Artificial insemination‚ all of which are costly and takes a great deal of emotional‚ mental and physical demand for the couples looking to have children. In 2002‚ data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)‚ indicated that

Methanolic and aqueous extract of leaves and fruits of P. niruri showed inhibition of membrane lipid peroxidation (LPO)‚ scavenging of 1‚1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro. Antioxidant activity of the extracts were also demonstrable in vivo by the inhibition of the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) – induced formation of lipid peroxides in the liver of rats by pretreatment with the extracts.

now screen embryos for genetic disorders and select healthy embryos. Designer baby technology or reproductive genetics combines genetic screening and engineering1 processes with in vitro fertilization2 (IVF). This process is known as Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Steps: 1. Creating an Embryo with In-vitro fertilization (IVF). 2. Removing a single cell from that embryo within the first 5 days of creation 3. Genetically testing the cell 4.

Stem Cell Research Stem cells have the ability to mold themselves into many different types of cells with specific attributes. Stem cells are basically cells that have not been placed into a specific categorized function. Stem cells have so far proved to provide treatment to various illnesses‚ such as cancer‚ multiple sclerosis‚ arthritis‚ Lou Gehrig’s disease‚ etc. So why is it not in blatant medical use today? Well‚ mainly because stem cells are noted as an act against God. The US government

that a new method to conduct chemical tests called in-vitro testing‚ allows researchers to conduct tests without the need to use animals. By introducing chemicals to animal cells in a petri dish or test tube‚ researchers are able to assess the danger of chemicals‚ without risking the lives of innocent animals. Other than that‚ NEAVS (2016) argues that in-vitro testing is also more accurate than animal testing. By using human cells in in-vitro testing‚ researchers are able to more accurately identify

Speak For Those Who Can’t Do the companies L’Oreal‚ Lancome‚ Garnier‚ Maybelline‚ Sephora‚ and Neutrogena sound familiar? All of these companies take part in animal testing. Every year 19.5 million animals die in testing every year‚ and these companies are involved. Products produced by these companies are some that one may use every day. Hopefully whoever uses their products feels guilty for putting those animals in all that pain and torture just to look pretty. Certainly‚ this is not a liable
