Animal rights‚ human wrongs? Introduction to the Talking Point on the use of animals in scientific research Frank Gannon Introduction The balance between the rights of animals and their use in biomedical research is a delicate issue with huge societal implications. The debate over whether and how scientists should use animal models has been inflammatory‚ and the opposing viewpoints are difficult to reconcile. Many animal-rights activists call for nothing less than the total abolition of

Hybrid Animals Are they a natural occurring species‚ or a scientific abomination? Throughout history hybrid animals have been highly controversial subjects. Some examples of these animals are beefalos‚ zonkeys‚ wholphins‚ and ligers. Although some of these animals occur naturally in the wild‚ some are engineered in science labs. What are some examples of hybrid animals? The first liger was created in 1824 after Professor Valentine Bail‚ a director of a museum in a Dublin‚ bred by a female

more than 115 million animals worldwide are used in laboratory experiments every year (Humane Society International‚ 2010). Animals‚ from the fruit fly to the mouse‚ are widely used in scientific research. Research is critical for the advancement of medicine‚ leading to increased chances of survival from diseases and improved strategies to prevent them. Without animal experiments‚ transplants‚ diseases‚ cancer‚ and vaccines would not have been advanced. The use of animals can be inevitable‚ particularly

Stem cells are an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type‚ and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. The body is not able to produce new neurons to repair spinal cords injuries‚ such as those that cause paralysis. Because of this‚ there is no way for doctors to restore movement to paralyzed people. Stem cells may be the perfect solution to that problem. Researchers have found that implants

benefits of transgenic animals to human can be grouped into areas: 1. Agricultural Applications Transgenesis will allow larger herds with specific traits. a) Breeding Farmers have always used selective breeding to produce animals that exhibit desired traits (e.g.‚ increased milk production‚ high growth rate). Traditional breeding is a time-consuming‚ difficult task. When technology using molecular biology was developed‚ it became possible to develop traits in animals in a shorter time

Biology – Assignment One Cells. Question One Explain the roles of the main components and features of a cell to the cell function. A typical animal cell is rounded in shape‚ surrounded by a cell membrane. This holds in the cytoplasm‚ which contains other structures such as the nucleus‚ ribosomes‚ and mitochondria. Each cell has tiny structures inside called organelles; each type of organelle performs a particular function. For example there are mitochondria (power stations)‚ ribosomes (protein

Animal testing Aristotle and Erasistratus were the first two early Greek physician-scientist performed experiments on living animals. In 1859‚ Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory reinforced the conception that animals could serve as models for humans in the study of biology and physiology. Animal testing plays a large important role in pharmaceutical and medical advances‚ but many question the mortality of such use of the animal’s life. More than 100 million aninals are used for testing every
