Animal Testing…Right or Wrong? In the 1880’s‚ Louis Pasteur conducted one of the most unpleasant series of animal experiments in the history of the fight against infectious disease. Unable to see the organism that causes rabies with the microscopes available‚ he convinced a skeptical medical community of the microorganism’s existence and also the possibility of vaccinating against it. He did this by doing work on rabbits and dogs. In 1885‚ after much heart searching‚ he tried out his rabies vaccine

When it comes to the topic of animal testing‚ most of us will readily agree that it is a debatable topic. Where this agreement usually ends‚ however‚ is on the question of whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that it does help researchers find new drugs and treatments‚ others maintain that some drugs tested on animals may never actually be useful or even safe for human consumption. In my own view the results of animals testing

Thank you Madam Speaker‚ and good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today we are debating the motion: Animal testing should be banned.

Animal experimentation has dedicated to life science by helping cure people and making new medicine for many diseases although it has harmful side effects. Dr. Corina Gericke states that animal research is not a scientific method anymore‚ so it should not be allowed. The medicines tested for safety via animal experimentation brings out several terminal maladies for people‚ which shows people and animals have fairly different biochemical (Corina). However‚ the University of Oxford states that there
