Experimenting on animals is flawed and is way too risky to put all our faith into it.
We put so much faith into the research that comes from experimenting on animals that we expect it to accrete and we don't even think of the …show more content…
And with all the drugs that do go out there are “Indeed, many health problems currently afflicting humans, such as psychopathology, cancer, drug addiction, Alzheimer's, and AIDS, are species specific.” so not only is it cruel to the animals themselves it is affects us too. We could change someone's life in one second from information that has been wrongly proven. There are so many consequences of experimenting on animals and it has been affecting us “In fact, there have been numerous reports recently of approved drugs causing serious and unexpected health problems, leading the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to remove the products from the market or require black-box warnings on their labels. The FDA has reported that "adverse events associated with drugs are the single leading contributor to preventable patient injury, and may cost the lives of up to 100,000 Americans, account for more than 3 million hospital admissions, and increase the nation's hospitalization bill by up to $17 billion each year." The agency estimates that drug-related injuries outside the hospital add $76.6 billion to health care costs”. Why would we keep on experimenting on animals if this is the out”.
We know the risks of experimenting on animals but we still keep on doing it, we know the cost of it and we known how much it is affecting not only us but nature too. With all …show more content…
Those not specifically created for research come from licensed Class B animal dealers that are regulated and inspected by the USDA [US Department of Agriculture]. Pets do become lost and may never be found but that does not mean that they end up in research laboratories. Pet owners have a responsibility to make sure their animals can be easily identified and returned if lost—through collars with tags, tattoos and/or microchips”. They do have laws for experimenting on animals so it is not completely inhumane.Wesley J. Smith argues “that research on animals has been indispensable in developing ways to treat human disease. No one likes the idea of experimenting on animals, he says, and efforts are being made to reduce it to a minimum; however, there is no other way to do the necessary research and check the safety of new drugs. Medical treatments have to be tested on living organisms; if not on animals, then on humans, which in Smith's opinion would be an atrocity. Smith is a senior fellow for the Discovery Institute's program on human exceptionalism. He also consults with the Patients Rights Council and the Center for Bioethics and Culture.” I agree with his point but I think that we use to need experimentation and that it is has served its purpose.
We are and should be thankful
