The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks Summary
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot mentions animal experimentation. Different kinds of animals are used in many different experiments. Most experiments are used to help humans more than to help animals. Animal experimentation should not happen because most of the time, experiments can lead to animal cruelty. Cloning is one example of an experiment.
The National Human Genome Research Institute wrote an article explaining cloning. Cloning is an interesting topic that does happen to be experimented on animals. It can be artificial and can also be found in the environment. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole sheep have been cloned artificially. Different plants and single cells things like bacteria clone themselves through ways of splitting apart. This is natural cloning. Identical twins in different mammals, including humans, are clones too. They have similar DNA making them almost the same being. …show more content…
forty-three percent of adults don't actually support animal research. The ones that do, truly believe that it's necessary for medical research. Meanwhile, most animal experiments do not contribute to human health. ninety-two percent of drugs that had been tested on animals already did not pass through the 1st phase of human trial. The first phase tests the reaction, effectiveness, and side effects of the drug. Diseases that are planted in animals are never identical to the diseases humans face. It’s very unlikely that the research conducted will even be correctly interpreted and applied to humans. Dr. Richard Klausner the former director of the National Cancer Institute said, "We have cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn't work on humans." Since scientist won't readily admit failure, the public doesn't know about the ineffective tests conducted on animals. (Noel Merino) Animal experimentation can be good or bad depending on how it’s viewed. Scientific research can either be skeptical or
