In the article, “Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?” by procon.org, it states that by testing animals with new medications and drugs it has contributed life-saving cures and treatments; in the controversy, people against animal testing believe it is a cruel and ignominious procedure.
Furthermore, animals are put through an agonizing amount of pain for the scientific procedures of testing new products and drugs. They are being starved and deprived of water for multiple days to test the reaction of the products. Animal test subjects take the abuse of burns and other wounds for scientists to test products and study the healing process. These are pets that could be living a happy life with a family with no drugs being pumped with drugs and given unnecessary wounds. Animals’ bodies are so different from the human body, should anyone trust a drug that passes an animal trial to insert into their bodies? …show more content…
Studies show 94 percent of drugs passed in animal tests fail in human clinical trials. Labs and other experimental studies are pitilessly using animal lives for procedures that are not reliable to human trials. The article tells us that a prominent professor, Paul Furlong, of Clinical Neuro imaging at Aston University (UK) states that “it's very hard to create an animal model that even equates closely to what we are trying to achieve in the human.” A1950’s sleeping pill thalidomide which caused 10,000 babies to be born with severe deformities was tested on animals prior to its release. The sleeping was tested on several pregnant mice and pregnant hamsters, but it did not affect the babies of the mice or hamsters. Therefore, using animals to test drugs will not give the same outcome it does in a human as it did in the
