Should Humans Be Allowed To Test On Animals

Should Humans be allowed to test on god’s animals? Animal testing for biomedical research has been going on for centuries for example Aristotle; who was an early greek physician, also tested on animals to expand the knowledge of living organism’s anatomy. During the mid to late nineteenth century companies grew rapidly thus requiring more animals and more test to be applied on the subjects for their research or cosmetic use. Since the accelerated amount of animal testing grew, various different types of associations were created to hinder or to lowly regulate the usage of living organism and shared records to the public to gain more supporters. Throughout the research of various subjects, the testers treated the subjects inhumanely thus the animal’s treatment was publicized to the mass/community which spawn a burst of fury of anger towards animal testing. The surge of animal testing abuse led to the
For example bacterial infections were the major cause of death back in the old days but when Ernest Chain infected 2 mice with a very deadly high dose of Streptococcus bacteria then proceeded to inject the subjects with penicillin. The treated subjects survived though the untreated ones died. This lead to further trials of research to test the toxicity of penicillin and development for higher quality penicillin for the consumption of humans. With the test on mice, the outcome was that it revolutionized the capability to treat bacterial infections, which was a major cause of fatalities. Just this simple test on mice lead to the saving of millions of lives for both humans and animals. As you can see animal testing has proven to be very effective over the last century in developing essential necessities and treatments humans need to thrive such as insulin, antibiotics for tuberculosis, cancer treatments, blood transfusions, tamoxifen(cancer treatment) and so many other medicines and treatments that
