Animal testing has been around a long time with an un-pretty history. With technology not being as advanced as it is today to use other alternative methods scientists tested their theories on animals. Animals used in scientific experiments go back as early to Greek physician scientists such as Aristotle‚ Erasistratus and Galen. Galen practiced in Rome where he conducted animal experiments to advance the understanding of anatomy‚ physiology‚ pathology and pharmacology. Arab physician in the 12th

This is because animals are very different from human. Consequently‚ the drugs passed animal testing are not necessarily safe for men and may be dangerous. According to Cruelty Free International in 2006‚ a new type of drug called a monoclonal antibody (TGN1412) was tested on human volunteers in a clinical trial at North ick Park hospital. Earlier tests on monkeys at 500 times the dose given to the humans failed to predict the severe side effects. All six of the young volunteers became seriously

PART 1: Last week I found a list of the top ten unethical experiments that had been done throughout the many years of Psychology that involved humans and animals. Out of the list there was one such study that I found to be particularly interesting‚ and surprising that such an experiment was ever aloud to be conducted. This study was done by Deneau‚ Yanagita & Seevers (1969) and was known as the monkey drug trials. The experiment was looking at the effects of self-administration of drugs by

Reasons Why Animal Testing Should be Banned The activity of animal testing is of cruelty and sometimes unscientific. Money spent on animal experimentation is wasted in many cases; due to inability in obtaining accurate results‚ and all this at the cost of the animals’ well-being. Here are a few arguments against animal testing that support the thought of banning this activity. Cruel Practices Animals are a soft target for human beings; it is however‚ not fair to take undue advantage of their

antibiotics that aid in the treatment of anthrax are: clindamycin‚ doxycycline‚ ciprofloxacin‚ and most recently approved by the FDA is raxibacumab. Raxibacumab works best by dramatically decreasing how serious anthrax can be. The drug uses monoclonal antibodies to bind to toxins secreted by B. anthracis‚ which prevents it from entering the cells. There is also a vaccine; it contains live spores and a toxoid‚ which is used in certain places where anthrax is common to protect

Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder. People who have hemophilia have a deficiency or an absence of a coagulation protein. A blood clotting factor is deficient or absent. Bleeding is most often into joints‚ such as the knee‚ elbow‚ or ankle‚ but bleeding can occur anywhere in the body. People with hemophilia bleed longer‚ not faster. The severity of hemophilia varies greatly. Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B are the most common genetic bleeding disorders. Hemophilia A is observed in 80 percent

I. The Problem and Its Setting Introduction Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is cancer originating from breast tissue‚ most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancers originating from ducts are known as ductal carcinomas; those originating from lobules are known as lobular carcinomas. Prognosis and survival rate varies greatly depending on cancer type and staging. Computerized models are available to predict survival. With
