just since it is used for a good purpose. Others even maintain that by using animals for something other than teaching is inaccurate since mice can react and have different symptoms compared to humans. My own view is that animal dissection and vivisection is just in how it can be used to find cures for various diseases‚ also depending on the type of research being done the similarity between the animal and humans isn’t that big of a factor and is taken into account. However‚ acts that are not done

New England Anti-Vivisection Society observes that non-cosmetic animal testing is more economical and practical. Traditional animal testing for chemicals can take up to 5 years per substance and can cost millions of dollars. Non-animal testing alternatives can test hundreds of chemicals at the same time and also cost less than traditional animal testing (“Benefits of non-animal testing”). Basically‚ New England Anti-Vivisection Society is saying alternatives to non-animal

creatures that have feelings and require a necessary habitat that should be respected. Estimates exist that state one hundred million animals are used for experimentation world wide per year‚ which is about 274‚000 per day‚ or three every second (“Vivisection”). Rats‚ mice‚ guinea pigs‚ dogs‚ monkeys and rabbits are just a few of the types of animals used by companies and universities to test the safety of drugs and other newly developed products. These animals come from “factory farms” and are sometimes

Animal testing has very significantly built the structure of medicine in our society today. Vivisection has supported many breakthroughs involving severe diseases that now have several treatments. Now‚ many people may say that not only animals are used for medicine but in cosmetics too. Still‚ proving that cosmetics must be tested before public reflection

Animal testing goes all the way back to the ancient times of the Greeks and Romans. Doctors would dissect animals in hopes of obtaining new knowledge. These animals lived a life of daily confinement. The only change in their lives came from being called into a research experiment that would eventually end in death. During the research and testing these animals would be subjected to experiments‚ including everything from injecting with new diseases‚ poisoning the animals‚ burning their skin along

How many animals are used each year for animal testing? The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection believes there to be about 10 to 11 million experimented on in the United Kingdom‚ and the United States Department of Agriculture has tested upon 1‚137‚718 animals‚ not including mice or rats‚ in 2002 (Bidnall n. pag.). These statistics are only from two countries throughout this entire planet‚ which entirely surpasses prudency. Animals are not lesser than humans because they do not have

defend themselves and that’s when the scientists take them to experiments. Animals are not the only "object" or thing that can be used to experiment. Actually a few months ago the Director of Research Defence Society‚ (which exists to defend vivisection) was asked if medical progress could be achieved without animal use. His written reply was ’I am sure it could be’. The DRDS also said that at least 450 methods exist with which we can replace animal experiments. By using blood from human volunteers

socially isolated‚ and psychologically traumatized. The thinking‚ feeling animals that are used in experiments are treated like nothing more than disposable laboratory equipment. George Bernard Shaw‚ an Irish critic and political activist‚ once said “Vivisection is a total evil because it advances human knowledge; it does so at the expense of human character.” Nowadays‚ the development of new procedures has changed the need to test on animals‚ yet it is continued in vain. Moreover‚ the use of animals in

This article examines some of the ethical and practical issues involved in animal research. Ethical Issues In terms of ethics‚ the main issue in animal testing is simply that many experimental animals suffer in ways which are unnatural to them. Through the use of genetic manipulation‚ obese mice ‚ diabetic mice‚ and mice with Huntington’s disease can be created. Surgical experiments can be performed on larger animals – such as pigs‚ sheep‚ and dogs‚ as “practice” for human surgery. Normally
