So‚ should it stop now? Should animal testing be illegal? Global Perspectives In the UK‚ scientists were warned by the research agencies

Animal Experimentation The issue of animal experimentation is the subject of many debates within the scientific community. It is my firm belief that any form of animal experimentation is morally wrong and tantamount to murder or torture. Scientists perform experiments on animals in a bid to test the safety other products and to develop new drugs for treating a wide range of diseases. In most cases‚ the experiments cause a lot of pain to the animals used as subjects‚ often significantly reducing the

Animal testing‚ also known as animal experimentation‚ is the use of animals to view and control variables that affect their behavior and biology system. It has played a major role in biomedical research ever since the last century. Using animals in research that could protect humans from a disease‚ any kind of pain‚ suffering‚ and even death should be justified. One of the many reasons why it is justified is because it has helped medical fields come up with many treatments for diseases. Treatments

Where this agreement usually ends‚ however‚ is on the question of whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that it does help researchers find new drugs and treatments‚ others maintain that some drugs tested on animals may never actually be useful or even safe for human consumption. In my own view the results of animals testing are unreliable

Throughout history animal testing has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefit. However‚ the realization of the moral status that animals hold only began in the late 1970’s.
