Less Experimenting more Saving The experimentation on animals for research is inhumane and should be put to and end. Animal experimentation is a serious problem that isn 't brought up very often, but undoubtedly you use something every day that an animal was tortured because of. Each year over 100 million animals are killed due to experimentation (U.S. Department of Agriculture 2014). The Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics concludes that the practice of experimenting on animals is “unthinkable” and that “In terms of harm, pain, suffering, and death, it is a major moral issue. When you ask most people what they think they just simply say “oh it 's just an animal, who cares”. The answer, PETA and other people who understand that just because

When you go to medical school after a few years of training you have to be put to the test, most students want to show off to their professors and let it be known they can handle anything. So when given the option to perform on a real “patient” they jump at the chance. At Johns Hopkins, third-year medical students take part in a surgery clerkship in which live pigs are anesthetized and cut open before being killed (Bruno 2015). Not all medical schools still allow this sickening procedure as a grade. Most schools have realized that the practise of taking an animal 's life is a morbid thing to allow. Johns Hopkins and the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga are the last two schools that continue to use live animals to train students (Bruno 2015).After they are done practicing or experimenting on the animals they then kill them so they don 't have to suffer anymore. While these two schools continue to use live animals they do not require you to accomplish this task to graduate, which brings up the questions is it really even necessary? The answer is no, if it isn 't required then its must not be a very essential part of the course for students. Obviously other schools see this, that 's why 186 other medical schools in the U.S. and Canada--including every Ivy League medical school have done away with live animal research as part of their curricular (Bruno). When someone has to go through torturing an animal for science it changes them, they loose a part of themselves because they have to not care in order to complete their task. After a while that can get to a person and it can really start to affect them, they treat it as if it 's nothing. “ Medical students who work with the simulators forget what 's on the screen or on the table in front of them is not living and they do everything they can to save the life of that “patient”. But students at Johns Hopkins will never be able to save their
