Why Is Animal Testing Wrong

In conclusion, some may say that it is unethical or inhumane to test animals who have no say-so in what is happening to them but if we tested humans and purposely expose them to health risks in order to research a disease, which is what would have to happen if we stopped testing on animals, then that would be just as bad. Animal testing for medical treatments is reasonable because it is the most accurate way to get results, without putting humans at unnecessary health risks, and it is easier to control their environment while monitoring animals because of their shorter life spans. Animal testing has also saved millions of

Although animal testing has some negatives, it also has some positives. The association, Americans for Medical Processes has stated that “animal-based research has contributed to significant improvement in the length and quality of our lives.” One of the ways in which animal testing has assisted humans is in the treatment of cancer. Due to animal based research, scientists were able to discover new molecular and genetic understandings of tumor biology. This knowledge has lead to treatments that help solve the problem of cancer. Another way in which animal testing has helped humans is in HIV/AIDS. Although there is not a cure for the disease yet, animal testings have helped scientists make custom drugs with less side effects. Also, the knowledge

My theme for the story Animal Farm by Greg Orwell is how power can lead to corruption and dictatorship/oppression. I chose this theme because it is very prominent throughout the story. In the story a few examples of this were as follows: Napoleon giving power to the pigs and terrorizing the other animals and creating new laws such as “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” which displays how the pigs are oppressing the animals by carrying whips around to intimidate them, working them on the bare minimal amount of food they need to not expire, and violating all of the 7 Animalia commandments without remorse. This connects to my claim by displaying how they were being dictators due to the other animals having no say in

Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. My partner and I firmly believe that animal testing does more good than harm. Animal testing has helped society be able to live a longer and a healthier life, and animals used for testing are tremendously similar to human beings, and that has impacted our lives beneficially, and animal research has helped society have a better understanding of medical issues.

Some people might argue that there is no better alternatives for testing then animals. Over the years, however, science has created many alternatives for animal use in testing. One alternative is, using donated human tissue and organs. With this method less animals will die for human research. This has also been proven to be up to 20% more accurate than an animal testing (Neavs). Another alternative would be microdosing. Microdosing would take human volunteers and give them small doses of drugs high enough to cause an effect but not high enough to affect the entire body (The Hastings Center). By using these alternatives, less animals will be used

Perhaps when you think of boxing, you don’t immediately think of Jews. Myself, not knowing a vast about of boxing and the only person that comes to mind is Muhammad Ali.

Animal testing is taking living animals to “test new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures”(“Harm and suffering”). Those in favour of animal testing believe that human beings and animals share similar illness, and thus animals can serve as valid models for studying human illness. They also contend that it can develop and find medical treatments to treat diseases. However, there are studies that reveal that the research based on animals are inaccurate, and the treatment of the animals at times are inhuman. In essence, animal testing should be banned because it is unethical to kill or harm animals for human’s own goods, will cause more harm than good, animal and human are different which the tests are not relevant to human and there are other techniques that can replace animal testing.

An estimated 26 million animals are being tested on yearly. Animal testing has helped humanity in many ways ever since it started about 2,500 years ago. Cures have been created for many viruses and sicknesses but it has come with a cost to the animals. Animals are being put in horrendous living conditions that often cause them anxiety and pain. People in favor of animal of animal testing argue that we should keep testing on animals to further scientific research, while those against animal testing believe that there are other ways to achieve the same results.

every night. The piece of the story I want to focus on is what happens

Imagine a world full of disease and sickness, and doctors frantically trying to cure it, but do not want to injure or kill anyone in the process. Without animal testing it would be extremely difficult to find cures to cancers, diabetes, allergies, and other horrible problems. Animal testing is a critical tool in science and it cannot be replaced, it helps cure very serious and dangerous diseases, it’s very important when it comes to human health, and should be continued.

Even though animal testing has been used for many years and may seem to work, using one of the different methods we may be able to save more animal and human lives. In vitro, where scientist test using models based on human cells and tissue. Computerized patients, where tests are done virtually. Some of the other testing that you may have heard of, simulations, and stem and genetic cell. Micro dosing, where humans are given very low doses of a drug to see the effects without causing damage to the whole body. (In Testing). Non-animal testing will provide us with more reliable, more accurate, less expensive, and animal cruelty-free testing. The animal testing method is one of many that can be used, but unfortunately it is one of the most used; with newer technology and more information we can save more animal and humans’ lives.

Have you ever thought about the effects of animal testing? Well, some critics may argue that it has many positive effects, such as, providing the drugs and medicines we need to live healthy lives. But, although this may be true, I challenge this. To continue, animal testing is cruel to animals and does not produce enough and/or strong enough medicines to be necessary for humans. This is because, when animals are seized for animal testing, they are not only locked in cages, but they are also treated menacingly and very poorly. Also, animal testing has shown to be wasting our lives and resources. In addition, not only is animal testing unnecessary, but there are also other alternatives.

It doesn’t help that animals are not a 100% match to the human body, either. Because of the body differences some tests may work on animals but, they have no effect on humans. A former administrator from the National Cancer Institute has said that they have been curing cancerous mice for decades (“Animal Testing Should Be Banned”). In some cases drugs that have been tested and approved on animals are extremely harmful for humans. According to the Federal Drug Administration in one year 1.5 million Americans were hospitalized due to harmful drugs (ProCon). People say that there is no other way to test drugs to see if they are truly safe for humans and animals alike, but that is where they are completely wrong. In fact there are many new ways to test drugs, cosmetics, food, and

Animal testing is vital for our existence. Its importance is one of few which are irreplaceable. Maybe, just maybe, if it were not for animal testing, the human race may have been extinct by now. The various cures we have today are thanks to animal testing. Without animal testing, the average human age would be 34 due to the fact that we would be dying from unresolved diseases as stated by the California research of medical science centre.

The California Biomedical Research Association claims that almost every scientific and medical breakthrough in the last century has resulted directly from animal testing. By testing on a dogs pancreas the how saved my patients with diabetes. Around 26 million animals are used yearly in the US for scientific and commercial testing. Animals are being used to check the safety of products designed for human use and develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, and other medical, commercial, and health care uses. Research and experimenting on living animals has been practiced all the way back to 500 BC. Supporters of animal testing say that it has led to the development of many life-saving treatments for both humans and animals in the past and that there is no replacement better than actually researching a complete living organism, and the strict regulations are put in place to prevent the mistreatment of animals in laboratories. Opponents of animal testing say that it is cruel to experiment on animals, those alternative methods are available to researchers and can replace animal testing, and that animals are so different from human beings that research on animals usually yields irrelevant data and results but that is just an assumption and not a fact.
