Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Animal testing can de dreadful to them and their species. Testing can cause death within them and wipe out their species if tests keep happening in the world today. Main reasons that animal testing is hurtful to animals is that testing drugs on them are not safe‚ tests can mislead researchers into ignoring potential cures and or treatments‚ 95% of the animals that were tested on are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act‚ also animal testing is more expensive

outcome tend to remain dominated by the paradigms familiar to component disciplines. A specific example in which an interdisciplinary approach to the natural sciences has led to disaster is within the field of medicine in the 1960s‚ when the drug thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. Due to a phenomenon in chemistry called stereoisomerism‚ the manufactured drug formed two molecular structures‚ known as enantiomers. While one enantiomer was therapeutic‚ the other caused severe

Medical Testing on Animals Every year‚ nearly 100 million animals die in research laboratories at the hands of curious scientists who perform outdated and inaccurate tests that prove no benefit to humans or animals. Before these animals die‚ they are routinely burned‚ scalded‚ poisoned‚ starved‚ given electric shocks‚ addicted to drugs‚ subjected to near freezing temperatures‚ dosed with radioactive elements‚ driven insane‚ deliberately inflicted with diseases such as cancer‚ diabetes‚ oral infections

Animal Testing is not Justified Imagine being deprived of food and water‚ being forced to inhale toxic gasses‚ going through surgery without any anesthesia‚ or being physically restrained for long periods of time. Many animals go through this every year. According to the Humane Society International‚ more that 115 million animals are used worldwide for laboratory experiments almost every year and about a 100 million are just from the United States! The animals they use include mice‚ fish‚ rats‚

Organic Chemistry - Introduction 1 2812 Basic definitions for organic chemistry Scope Organic chemistry is a vast subject so it is easier to split it into small sections for study. This is usually done by studying compounds which behave in a similar way because they have a particular atom‚ or group of atoms‚ (FUNCTIONAL GROUP) in their structure. Catenation The ability to form bonds between atoms of the same element. Carbon catenates to form chains and rings‚ with single‚ double

In one of her lectures‚ my organic chemistry professor told us the story of thalidomide whose R enantiomers were an effective morning sickness cure‚ but S enantiomers caused teratogenesis. It fascinates me how a simple switch in the stereocenter would cause such different biochemical responses. Despite my initial struggles in college

In the 1700s the philosopher René Descartes claimed that “animals did not feel pain”‚ whilst Samuel Johnson claimed animal experimentation would lead to a lack of compassion. These are the two sides present in the issue of cognitive behavioral research‚ which is why it is important to understand the pros‚ cons and ethical guidelines of animal research. According to the British Psychological Society guidelines by Animal Act 1986‚ any procedure involving animals have to meet certain criteria to receive

Although animal experiments has helped to save human life there have also been cases of the medicines that have been safety tested on hundreds of animals to harm humans and even cause death .The most famous example of this is the Thalidomide tragedy of the 1960s and 70s.This drug was suppose to be a sedative for pregnant or breast feeding woman and supposedly caused no harm to the mother or child.
