There were many unfortunate incidents of products backfiring on costumers after being approved through animal research. As animal testing continued to grow‚ so did the animal protection organizations. In 1981‚ the John Hopkins Center for the Alternatives to Animal Testing was formed to improve health for both people and animals.

Paying College Athletes Basketball legend‚ Michael Jordan once said‚ “in college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I’ve been given the chance to meet all kinds of people‚ to travel and expand my financial capabilities‚ to get ideas and learn about life‚ to create a world apart from basketball.” College players still do not have the same amenities that professional athletes have.

Athletes all over the country fail to compete at their highest level because of the use of drugs (mainly marijuana) and the lack of the drug testing by the school. In my opinion it should be mandatory for all athletes to be drug tested at least once a month‚ regardless of the size or type of school that they are attending. Even though drug testing may be too expensive for community colleges‚ very good athletes who can make it far with their gift don’t because of the freedom they are given with the

False Positive Drug Tests When an employee tests positive for a drug they did not take‚ it is referred to as a false-positive.

Drug testing welfare recipients is an excellent idea. For instance‚ random drug testing would help substance-abusing welfare recipients conquer their drug problems. Drug testing would be very helpful to the ones who are not substance abusing to actually get the help they deserve.
