Animal Experimentation by Peggy J. Parks describes advantages and disadvantages of animal research. This book explains one of the major social justice issue that is becoming controversial these days: Animal Rights. Scientists are trying to find new vaccines and medical products‚ but you cannot test them on humans right away. We cannot risk human’s life‚ but can we risk animal’s life? In 2005‚ the USDA reported that 1‚177‚566 animals were used in the laboratory‚ excluding mice‚ rats‚ birds‚ fish‚

ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION There has been a controversy between animal rights supporters and scientists about whether it is right to use animals in experimental research. Also‚ it is very debatable whether using animals for such research results in finding a cure for diseases. From my point of view‚ if there are no other alternatives‚ and if it is possible that this will contribute to science‚ animals may be used for experimental research. Although the animal rights activists claim that people and

Marshall 21 April 2013 Animal Experimentation Animal testing has been at the forefront of most advances in medical history. Without it‚ we would assuredly be ages behind where we are now in terms of medical sciences. Animal testing is a highly controversial topic with many opponents who would go out of their way to “liberate” these animals who were born for this reason‚ bred in captivity so as to do no damage to the species as a whole. The evidence supporting animal testing is insurmountable

Animal testing‚ also known as animal experimentation‚ animal research‚ and in vivo testing‚ is the use of non-human animals in experiments (although some research about animals involves only natural behaviors or pure observation‚ such as a mouse running a maze or field studies of chimp troops). The research is conducted inside universities‚ medical schools‚ pharmaceutical companies‚ farms‚ defense establishments‚ and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.[1] It includes

Animal Experimentation has Alternatives Every day around the world‚ animals are fighting for their lives. They are being mutilated and confined to tiny cages so we can use them. They are being burned‚ blinded‚ poisoned‚ and cut up alive just for science. They are electrocuted and strangled just so people can wear makeup. The fact that animal testing can be done in other ways makes this suffering pointless. Scientists should use alternative testing instead of harming animals. Animals are abused

Persuasive essay on Animal Experimentation: Throughout history‚ animal experimentation has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefit. However‚ what many people tend to forget are the great numbers of animal subjects that have suffered serious harm during the process of experimentation. Many people are believed to be ignorant or misunderstand the nature of the lives that animals actually live‚ and are unable to understand the actual laboratory procedures and techniques

Animal Experimentation Each year millions of animals are maimed‚ genetically manipulated and otherwise killed or hurt due to animal experimentation. This is‚ however‚ an utterly controversial issue with a great deal of emotions and ideas regarding the ethics of this practice. Animal experimentation has been around for centuries and was repeatedly used throughout the history of biomedical research. Nonetheless‚ the ethical revival of realization on the moral status of animals only began in the 1970’s

Animal experimentation The topic that I have chosen for my research paper concentrates on animal experimentation which has been a controversy issue for many years. In fact‚ countries still still have problem with this because‚ it involves animals to be used to test chemicals. There are two sides of this issue in which people debate between advantages and disadvantages of animal testing. It is very hard to say that if animals have rights or not‚ therefore‚ it has remained to
