Most people believe that Animal testing is unethical and unnecessarily cruel. But the truth is that Animal testing is a necessary evil. Animal testing is necessary for many reasons. It has resulted in many medicine breakthroughs, it keeps cosmetics safe and it is much better then testing on humans.
Animal testing has impacted almost every single medical breakthrough! Animal testing is extremely beneficial in the medical field and, It has helped with many different diseases including Aids and even Alzheimer's.”The rest is history. The drug, Crixivan , became generally available in 1996, allowing HIV patients to live longer” Wesley Smith writes about the drug Crixivan which when tried on non animal models showed no effects, however when tries on specially bred dogs they had liver problems,the problem was solved however animal testing was necessary. In October of 2013 Scientist in the UK announced that by infecting mice with the prion disease they then experimented with methods and found a method that stopped the disease in it’s tracks. (Smith) Thanks to the experimentation on the mice research is now underway for a cure for alzheimer's disease,thanks to animal testing a big step was made.In conclusion animal testing results in many animal breakthroughs,and is responsible …show more content…
Testing for new medicines is clearly dangerous, it is completely unreasonable to have humans whom the medicine will be for, hurt by experimentation. Although there are methods other than animal experimentation they are not as reliable as animal testing.Wesley Smith tells a story from Science “Using non-animal methods, researchers designed a protease inhibitor that looked extremely promising as a treatment for HIV. Regulations required that it be safety checked in large animals before human trials”in this case, specially bred dogs”to predict how the medicine would react in a living
