The use of animals in scientific research has made dramatic improvements in our understanding of the human race. Despite the controversies that surround this issue‚ without this process of testing it is certain that much of what is known today towards the quality and quantity of life would remain closed off to us. Over the years‚ scientists have gained the ability to solve medical problems‚ cure diseases‚ and develop vaccines all with the use of animals during scientific research. To believe that

Every year millions of animals are used in more than 1‚000 laboratory experiments across the country. The facilities imprison millions of animals and exhaust millions of dollars to cause pain and suffering that are irrelevant to the diagnosis of the human well-being. Universities‚ hospitals‚ contract laboratories‚ pharmaceutical companies‚ and government agencies contribute to unethical animal testing. The cruel living conditions and senseless torture of these animals goes unnoticed by the majority

Assignment: Do sports drinks really work? Question... How do sports drinks affect muscle reaction time? Hypothesis My hypothesis is if sport drinks are consumed‚ then the reaction rate will improve. Sport drinks provide individuals with the required amount of water‚ carbohydrates and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) which is lost in sweat while exercising. Maintaining adequate electrolyte levels will enable better cell function‚ which is needed for muscle endurance‚ among other bodily capabilities

Animal testing has been the basis of all medicine and disease breakthroughs for over 50 years. Some people believe animal testing is a necessary and useful way to test and discover new products‚ but I believe it is not. Millions of animals are dying or being injured just so scientists can experiment to find new substances and products for humans to use‚ which does not justify for the many lives being lost. Some experiments done on the animals include measuring eye tissue damage‚ the level of skin

This essay will discuss the dilemmas of testing drugs on human beings‚ as well as the dilemmas once we shift testing drugs on animals. There are several ethical dilemmas when it comes to testing drugs on people in general. A number of the tests can be potentially life threatening. The new drugs may cause severe reactions which might not be treatable later on. For years‚ scientists have been experimenting on humans. The majority that were used for testing were the insane‚ prisoners‚ and charity patients

think of medical research and testing‚ we know that it is a necessary part of the advancement of medicine. When research involves human subjects‚ we assume that all subjects are being treated morally‚ and that the researchers will be conducting the studies with respect to the subject’s natural rights as a human being. History shows us that medical studies have not always been conducted this way. The Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital‚ The Tuskegee Syphilis experiments‚ and the Hepatitis studies at

Gimme Experimental is a short experiment but tests a very interesting psychology concept: the endowment effect. The endowment effect simply is the expectation that if a person owns something they place a higher value to it. Conversely‚ there is another psychology term called the reverse endowment effect. This is the complete opposite of the endowment effect‚ which means a person would place a higher value for someone else’s possession. Interestingly‚ this experiment does not take long at all. Kids

Should animal testing be legal or illegal? Animal testing in scientific labs can hurt the poor innocent creatures. I think that testing on animals should be illegal. I’m going to be telling you the different reasons why I prefer animal testing is illegal. “Animal testing is wrong and it is cruelty to animals. Each year about five million dogs‚ cats‚ rabbits‚ monkeys‚ and other animals die in lethal dose tests performed in many states of the United States” (mega essays). Every year‚ an animal
