“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. – Mahatma Gandhi” (Hajar, 2011). Since the beginning animal testing has been controversial. Although it is taboo animal testing has had positive outcomes. Testing on animals played a substantial role in the evolution of anesthesia and the progress of ovarian cancer screenings. Without trial testing on animal’s human death is a possibility. The most notable reason animal testing is frowned upon is because of the amount of pain and distress that is caused, as well as the amount of animals that are used. To an extent animal testing’s positives should be given the same recognition as the negatives in the modern …show more content…
Goyal (2015) presented the example of, “Brodie and Waterton injected curare to a donkey and demonstrated that it could only be kept alive if artificial respiration was given along with (the lungs were inflated with a pair of bellows).” An incision was made in the windpipe, and through it, the lungs were inflated for at least 2 hours, with the help of a bellow. (Miller, 2010). In the year 1900, Pal discovered a drug that can reverse the side effects of curare. Goyal (2015) found that Pal injected physostigmine into a dog that was suffering from curare poisoning. “To his surprise, the dog started breathing spontaneously, and the idea of the reversal of the effects of neuromuscular drugs was conceived” (Goyal, …show more content…
Ohman (2014) expresses, “both genetically engineered and tumor xenograft animal models enable the preclinical testing of novel imaging techniques and molecularly targeted therapies as they become available.” What he mean by this is that any time a new screening method is discovered the animal testing allows any discrepancies to be found before it is done on humans. Many groups of modified mice have been consequential in efforts for polishing murine HGSC models. One experiment described by Ohman (2014) is, “the first genetic model of de novo HGSC originating in fallopian tubule epithelial cells (FTSEC) has been generated, which recapitulates key genetic alterations and precursor lesions that are hallmarks of the human
