Throughout history animal testing has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefit. However‚ the realization of the moral status that animals hold only began in the late 1970’s. Today it is a multibillion dollar industry that involves several institutions‚ cosmetic companies and scientific centers. What people tend to forget is the great number of animal subjects that have suffered serious harm during the process of experimentation. Many ethical questions arise about these experiments

Animal Experimentation The issue of animal experimentation is the subject of many debates within the scientific community. It is my firm belief that any form of animal experimentation is morally wrong and tantamount to murder or torture. Scientists perform experiments on animals in a bid to test the safety other products and to develop new drugs for treating a wide range of diseases. In most cases‚ the experiments cause a lot of pain to the animals used as subjects‚ often significantly reducing the

Animal Testing is Necessary “Animal research and testing has played a part in almost every medical breakthrough of the last century. It has saved hundreds of millions of lives worldwide.” Joan Ryan. When most people think about animal testing‚ they usually think about hurt blind animals that they have seen in pictures online or on tv. After seeing those images most people are quick to side with banding animal testing. However what most people do not realize is how much animal testing has helped

Each year‚ more than 100 million animals die do to animal testing. (author‚ year) Every day in laboratories all over the United States animals are being tested on. The scientist use animals as test subjects because they believe it is the only way to test medications‚ soaps‚ and other products usually to meet for human uses. Animals are tested on to make sure products that humans use are safe but all products are not necessarily safe. After the animals are done being tested on they are put to

There are millions of animals lives sacrificed for human research‚ people may claim those experiments are morally no difference with murders and be curious‚ do animal testing necessary? With reference to current issues on animal rights and academic studies on animal testing‚ I will illustrate that all animal testing should not be banned‚ they are crucial and significant to the medical development and can by no means substitute by other experimental methods. I will further explain that human have

Introduction to Animal Testing In the realm of science‚ testing and experimentation is the foundation on which scientific knowledge stands upon. In highly prioritized sciences such as Biological‚ Medical‚ pharmaceutical sciences‚ Animal testing stands at its core. In such sciences‚ as mentioned before‚ have a major focus on the human consumer. Animal testing qualifies as using model organisms‚ which are scientifically and governmentally approved organisms‚ allowed to be tested on in human-driven

Animal testing is a process that has been used in laboratories all over the world for decades. In the U.S. alone‚ more than twenty five million animals are used every year for scientific research and product testing (Ericson‚ 2014‚ a). Though most of the test subjects are mice and rats‚ other types of animals are often used depending on what type of chemical or treatment is being tested. These animals are often used to test the safety and usefulness of cosmetics‚ personal care and household products

Animal testing is a subject many people agree or disagree with. Animal testing had a great role in saving both humans and animals. It gave many opportunities to have better cures and drugs for medical usage. The cures have saved many lives of people and animals. If animals were not used for testing‚ humans would have been tested‚ and if humans were tested‚ the death rate of humans would increase gradually. Also‚ people developed many animal cures during animal testing‚ so the advantage not only

He does not give milk‚ he does not lay eggs‚ he is too weak to pull the plough‚ he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.” George Orwell. And now today animals are being used to produce a variety of products varying from medicine‚ cosmetics‚ and even military weapons through animal testing. One can argue we are the lord of all animals due to us being a higher

estimated 70 million animals are maimed‚ blinded‚ scalded‚ force-fed chemicals‚ genetically manipulated‚ and otherwise hurt and killed. Animals have to suffer and risk their lives for the name of science‚ by private institutions‚ household product and cosmetics companies‚ government agencies‚ educational institutions‚ and scientific centers. Animal testing is wrong but yet it is still legal in the US. The EU‚ European Union‚ have recently banned pharmaceutical and cosmetic testing on animals. There are many
