Animal Testing: Testing....1....2...3
Tatum Szymczak
Eng. 105
It is a dark stormy night when suddenly the phone rings. I casually answer the
telephone. It is my older sister informing me that our mother is in the
hospital. She is going to need an emergency brain transplant. It takes me just
a moment to drop everything I am doing and rush to the hospital. When I arrive
I see my father and sister in the waiting room casually enjoying their
conversation. I am amazed they could have such high spirits at such a time. As
I begin to confront them on this, they inform me that this is merely a routine
brain transplant. They reinforce that very few die from the actual transplant.
I become immediately relieved as a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders.
Animal testing is an issue in today's society that, whether anyone realizes it,
does affect each of us. Such as transplants, vaccines, and medicine. Nearly
each and every one of us today have received vaccine shots. We have all used
medications. We have all heard of transplant technology. This above example I
have used is farfetched. Brain transplants are not an everyday occurrence.
They are not yet, at least. However, kidney and heart transplants are beginning
to become a more and more common every day. Who knows what is possible with the
proper research. Today there are a great deal of people who oppose animal
testing in laboratory research. This is limiting our medical capabilities .
Could we be holding ourselves back from medical breakthroughs such as a cure for
cancer or AIDS? Animal testing is already controlled to a great extent. Many
cats and dogs are killed annually by shelters and pounds. Animal testing is not
as cruel as it is portrayed and is an essential to reaching medical
breakthroughs.
Special controls on laboratory animals have been in place since 1876. These
have been revised in 1986. These laws are now more commonly... [continues]
