Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.)Bth. Pithecellobium dulce is a tree that reaches a height of about 10 to 15 m (33 to 49 ft). Its trunk is spiny and its leaves are bipinnate. Each pinna has a single pair of ovate- blong leaflets that are about 2 to 4 cm (0.79 to 1.57 in) long. The flowers are greenish-white‚ fragrant‚ sessile and reach about 12 cm (4.7 in) in length‚ though appear shorter due to coiling. The flowers produce a pod‚ which turns pink when ripe and opens to expose an edible pulp. The pulp

Andrew Knight describes a list of ways around animal testing‚ ways that are better and more correct. A few ways he describes are: “Pharmacokinetic (PK) models predict in-vivo concentrations of test substances and metabolites‚ and the organ systems affected (Combes et al‚ 2007)‚”‚ “[Assays reliant on bacterial‚ yeast‚ protozoan‚ mammalian or human cell cultures] may be static or perfused‚ and used individually or combined

There are many incentives to move away from vivo testing. One of the main motivations to use alternative methods is ethical: toxicity tests in all fields are associated with high levels of suffering (Burden‚ Sewell‚ and Chapman 1-8). Not only are there ethical drives‚ but there are also scientific drives to ultimately eliminate animal testing (Burden‚ Sewell‚ and Chapman 1-8). One scientific drive is the question that must be answered: is it acceptable for a human being to be exposed to it‚ not just

Animal testing- George Hart Animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products. Many of these experiments cause pain to the animals involved‚ and reduce their quality of life in other ways. The scientists are obviously unaware of the strength of the public feeling about the subject; they may find themselves in hot water. It is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer; experimenting on animals produces serious moral problems. Some people think that

Thank you Madam Speaker‚ and good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today we are debating the motion: Animal testing should be banned. We‚ the government‚ strongly agree with the motion and have two reasons for this: uncertainty and expense. The first reason why we think that animal testing should be banned is uncertainty. Drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe. For instance‚ in the 1950s‚ sleeping pill called thalidomide caused 10‚000 babies to be born with severe deformities even

Everyday animals have to endue torture and agony people put them through because of animal testing. Whether it is for medical research or for cosmetic testing they are subjected to bleed‚ being burned‚ blinded‚ or become deceased. Sometimes these animals are put through this for the most arbitrary reasons such as makeup remover and eyeliner. The use of animal testing is cruel‚ ineffective‚ and a waste of money. Animal testing is undeniably cruel and inhumane. The daily life of an animal being kept

Animal research practices in various degrees are happening in all different places for different reasons. Some animals are injected with pain killers for certain procedures and others proceed in painful ways. In the article “Animal Testing Necessary in Medical Research” Lauren Myers points the importance and necessity of animal testing in medical research‚ while on the other hand Claire Andre and Manuel Velasquez oppose to the researches and express the cruelty these animals are going

Should animals be used for scientific or commercial testing? From at least 1948‚ animals are being used by the U.S space program for testing aspects of space travel. Animals are used to help in medical treatments‚ determining the toxicity of medications‚ checking the safety of products for humans‚ and other commercial and biomedical uses. Though many say that there is no alternative method for researching a living organism‚ animals are so different from humans that the results are mostly irrelevant

Animal Testing: Should Animals Be Used as Test Subject? Over 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical‚ drug‚ food‚ and cosmetics tests as well as in medical training exercises and curiosity-driven medical experiments at universities (PETA n.d). These animals are locked in barren cages with fear shown in their eyes waiting for the day when all of the misery will stop. Animals which are being tested are beautiful creatures that have the right to live normally
