Animal Testing and Medical Advancement Every day‚ animals such as rabbits‚ chimpanzees‚ and mice take part of medical experimentation. “Chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans‚ and mice are 98% genetically similar to humans. The United States and Gabon are the only two countries that allow experimentation on chimpanzees.” (The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada). What people don’t understand is that these animals contribute to medical discoveries regarding human health. Animals should be used

In the past‚ animal testing has often contributed to human kind and was most of the time accurate‚ but as we progress‚ we slowly dive into the smaller details‚ that we as humans differ completely from animals. Small intricate things such as single gene markers‚ that maybe both humans and primates have‚ but respond differently to differently things can drastically change the results of a test.
