Research on animals has improved surgical procedures done on humans. American medical associations have observed that “Virtually every advance in medical science in the 20th century, from antibiotics, vaccines and organ transplants have been directly from animal experimentation”( Science, medicine and animals pg. 5 ). It has been a huge accomplishment for transplant to be performed on animals. Without the ability to improve our health has given people a second chance at life by simply giving them an organ. Many don’t know that the animals they are testing on are very healthy; they get most of their animals from people who breed them. Everything in the medical field being used today is from animal testing. Antibiotics were never used 100 years ago, because when they tried to fix the problem it was on the spot for humans. They can now use it as …show more content…
Without the technique and ability to cure diseases people would not have the outcome they have now. Animal testing benefits their own kind and improves our knowledge with medicine. Animal testing is very important concept in the health industries. They need the ability to perform and test vaccines on living creatures before they give them to humans. Without all the shots and pills that have been created because of animals the human race would be in its worse state then it was in the past. Advancing our knowledge has led to a remarkable increase in life expectancy. Animals are not just house pets that we cradle and care for their part of the ecosystem that everyone revolves around to survive in the
