Research question: Should testing on animals be banned?
Animals are used in experimentations in order to achieve new openings. Some people think that it is acceptable, while others argue that it is not ethical to sacrifice animals for science. Estimated, that every year 50-100million of vertebrates are used for experiments in the world. 1 Despite the importance of experiments, the number of animals and purpose of research are not under any control. Whether research is biomedical, xenotransplantation, drug testing, toxicologytests, including cosmetics testing, countless animals have been killing after these experiments. Should we ban testing on animals to protect animal’s liberty and life?
If there had never been testing on animals, now we would not knew medical treatments, including cancer and HIV drugs, vaccines and many more. In other words, it contributes researchers to develop medicine. For instance, treatments for diseases such as diabetes and polio were made possible through animal research.2
It is believed that the experimentations should be carried out to the sake human benefits. All knows that mice, pigs are used for testing, because their genes are similar to humans. However, what are the reasons for scientists to conduct testing on those animals whose genes are not similar to humans? For example, russian scientist, Demikhov separated head and forepaws from the body of alive puppy and joined them to the head of an adult dog.3 In my opinion, firstly, it was cruel and strange experiment, secondly, not profitable to the sake of human.
A lot of animals are tested for things that people do not even need, like cosmetic industry. While testing cosmetic on them, they experience unbearable torment. Those animals suffer from ulcers, bleeding wounds and internal injuries. Since the results of most of these brutalities are inaccurate, to my mind they are worthless to hold.
Regarding to economic perspective, a large amount of
