Several of the larger companies use animal testing to test product safety on animals, but is this testing really necessary? According to Charles Low, "All cosmetic ingredients have been tested on animals at some point in time or are known to be safe based on decades of use" (Low). He also states " Industry cannot and will not retreat from the principle that human beings must not become human guinea pigs and that animal testing must continue to be an option in developing information to protect human health and product safety. It can be agreed upon that humans should not be used as guinea pigs in the testing of product safety, but also with new testing animals should not be subjected to harmful testing. Technology has created a gateway for the future of testing. "Safety testing should end within the decade as cheaper, quicker, and more predictive technologies are developed and applied" (Rowen
