On the website ProCon.org they state that… “ The anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor test subjects for humans.”. On the second website Udemy.com it talks about how… “ Since animals have different organisms than humans, they may not react in a reliable, consistent manner to a drug intended for human use.”. This means that animals “made” differently than humans, therefore, they are not perfect for testing because there could be major errors in the test. Animals do not react the same way as humans do, so they testing process could return inaccurate. In my opinion, if the tests do not turn out 100%, they should not be tested because there could be different outcomes. Although, if it was not for animals testing, most of the medicines that we use today could still be considered unsure and people could have died. Yes, many of these testings have caused breakthroughs in medicine, but a lot of testings are taking risks because since humans and animals are different the medicine could turn out differently on each species. Many medicines such as Aspirin could have a dangerous effect on animals, but yet it has no effect on humans. Overall, animal testings are/could be inaccurate for humans which can cause some serious issues/errors in
