Animal Testing There has been a long debate on whether animal should be used as a main source of testing Animals have been experimented and tested on for centuries. People came up with the idea that if they were unsure how a substance or compound would react on them, they started to use the same chemical on animal to see the results. They would then compare the results with the humans once they were used as test subjects. Animals have proven to be a source for testing since they have similar genetics and organ functions; however they have also proven to be difficult subjects for testing since they have different replications of disease and reactions. Animals’ genetic material is similar to the humans. Scientists are now beginning to use

When animals are tested at different times than the humans are which is common, it will take longer periods of time to compare the results between the two models. Each animal’s immune system is different and works in its own way according to its biological model. The comparasins of the model gives little or no help to the benefits of research ( Cynthia, 33). For example, a certain type of primate is not affected by the HIV virus, but the human’s immune system gets destroyed overtime by the same virus. There is only a slight difference between the models. Each animal has its own unique reaction to its own environment and adapts in its own way which makes the testing and experimentation more complicated and difficult to predict in a …show more content…
Animal testing has been one of the main sources for testing and experimentation since they have comparable genetic makeup and organ functions. Research has been unfavored due to cases within the research that showed different replications of disease between human and animal biological models. Each human has his or her reaction to different types of substances similar to the same animal having its own reaction to the same compound. There are complications and invalidations within the research, but the evidence proves that the complications are within the low funding from the government and replications from rare genetic diseases. With the advancement of technology and research obtained within the last few decades, scientists now have an advantage in developing new ways of treating humans with the research of different types of
