Why Animals Shouldn’t Be Use For Research
An estimated of 100 million animals are use in laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity experimentation, chemical, drug, food, scientific and cosmetics testing. In my opinion animals, testing shouldn’t be allowed because it isn’t right, it’s inhumane, cruel in every way. Animal testing is unnecessary when there is now alternative ways which do not involve the use of animals it’s also a waste of government money. Testing on animals is inhumane and cruel. These animals are forced to be used as scientific experimental resources, cruel ways. According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force-feeding, forced inhalation, food …show more content…
“In vitro (in glass) testing, such as studying cell cultures in a petri dish, can produce more relevant results than animal testing because human cells can be used. Microfluidic chips ("organs on a chip"), which are lined with human cells and recreate the functions of human organs, are in advanced stages of development. Computer models, such as virtual reconstructions of human molecular structures, can predict the toxicity of substances without invasive experiments on animals.” While others may argue that there is no adequate alternative to testing. “Studying cell cultures in a petri dish, while sometimes useful, does not provide the opportunity to study interrelated processes occurring in the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system.” In my opinion, alternative testing is a better way of testing because you are not harming …show more content…
Scientist spends an estimated of around $16 billion dollars.it’s a waste of government research dollars. “Humane Society International compared a variety of animal tests with their in vitro counterparts. An "unscheduled DNA synthesis" animal test costs $32,000, while the in vitro alternative costs $11,000. A "rat phototoxicity test" costs $11,500, whereas the non-animal equivalent costs $1,300. A "rat heterotrophic assay" costs $29,600, while the corresponding in vitro test costs $7,200. A two-species lifetime cancer study can cost from $2 million to $4 million, and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) spends $14 billion of its $31 billion annual budget on animal research.” ”. Others may claim that this money is used for a good cause and good purposes.But why waste so much money when you can save so much with alternative
