My name is Payton Foster. I am on the opposition side of the human experimentation debate. I believe that human experimentations is wrong. I have many reasons and research of why I think human experimentation is wrong. These are some of the reasons I think it is wrong.

My first reason why I think it is wrong, is because many people get severely injured or even die from human experimentation. I did some research and found that 2,000 people died in India died from serious adverse events (SAEs for short). These deaths were all caused during the drug trials from 2008 to 2011. The drug trials was when they tested a bunch of different drugs with humans most of which resulted in death for the human guinea pigs.

My second reason is a

    This suffering has been deemed ethically permissible, provided that researchers express confidence in their ability to achieve predictable benefits to humans (Doke & Dhawale, 2015; Ferdowsian & Beck, 2011, p.2). Modern scientific knowledge paired with tragic historical instances of human drug toxicity has raised questions and concerns regarding the ethics of preclinical animal testing for both humans and animals. If humans are not benefitting from the suffering of animal testing models, then the permissibility parameters for their suffering are not being fulfilled. If preclinical animal data cannot be accurately translated to real-life human scenarios, then human trials are being conducted unethically, as risks may no longer be outweighed by benefits, and study participants do not consent to the possibility of unknown risks or the fact that the trial in which they are deciding to participate, has been designed based on inaccurate assumptions (Greek, Hansen & Pippus, 2012; Green,…

    On average, about 26 million animals are taken and used as little test subjects for big corporations to test their possibly harmful, and occasionally lethal, products before they release them to the public's use.

    Centuries have come and gone since the first form of animal testing was performed by the likes of Aristotle and Eristaratus (Hajar). This was back in the days where there was no technology to test medicines or different types of substances, therefore it is reasonable why the tested on animals.

According to peta.org, more than 100 million animals are slaughtered in U.S. laboratories. Those that have the heart to inflict this type of brutality do this immobilizing them in restraint devices for hours, drilling holes into their skulls having their spinal cords crushed. (peta.org). Other than the physical atrocities that humans are forcing vulnerable animals into, they are also isolated from their own kind, confined to barren cages, and therefore, become severely traumatized.…

    The research I conducted gave me a new view and influenced my thinking to produce the claim: In some cases, morality plays a role in human experimentation. The research provided ample information to how many cases of human experimentation has justification as well as morality in most cases. For example, an article I read was about how human experimentation has many rules were made to ensure safety among the subjects. Committees of distinct individuals (RECs) help rule out unethical and dangerous experiments to protect the wellbeing of humans. They provide a professional and lay POV, and an experiment can be ruled to be unethical if not known about in these committees.…

    Why Animal Testing Should Be Banned Everyday innocent animals are being forced into labs and tested for human research advancement. Cruelty Free International states how approximately 115 million animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, dogs and monkeys are used in dangerous laboratory experiments every year. In fact, many of the experiments are said to be useless tests, as stated, “The reality is that the majority of animal experiments do not contribute to improving human health, and the value of the role that animal experimentation plays in most medical advances is questionable” (“Animal Testing is Bad Science”). Misconceptions by the media may stretch the idea how animal testing can cure diseases, illnesses etc.. But actually, as emphasized, animal testing is an inefficient way of finding medical advances, making the procedures to be unnecessary and making there be no reason to force animals into labs without a choice, it's blatantly a waste of animals lives.…

    Firstly, opponents to this issue will argue that the practice is both unsafe and inhumane to perform experiments on animals. It is argued that the common animals being tested are so different from us biologically that it is completely pointless to perform testing on them; it would be better to not test at all, finding other methods. In some cases, it is proven hat there are alternative methods available to researchers so they can accomplish their experiments without the use of…
