Animal Testing Argumentative Essay

Unit 1 – Scientific Method Essential Questions – Sections 1.7 and 1.8 Brandon Goldstein – Biology Honors – Period 3-5 1. Why is it difficult to draw a conclusion from an experiment that does not have a control group? It is difficult to draw a conclusion from an experiment that does not have a control group, because it leaves more possibilities about what could have actually occurred during the experiment. This means that you may think you are right, but because you did not have a control group…

Evaluation When performing the experiment, the pill bugs were generally unresponsive, and many stayed in the same place throughout the whole experiment. Outside of this, no major problems occurred while performing the experiment. If the experiment were to be performed again, more of the IV (baking soda, rubbing alcohol, etc.) would be added to produce a more pronounced effect on the pill bugs, as most pillbugs did not move at all. The results are mostly trustworthy and accurate, as the data is…

Malachi Fox Kristy Wooten English 112 – 802 October 15, 2016 Animal Testing: An Annotated Bibliography While browsing Youtube one day, I came across a video from “Veritasium” about research being done in Switzerland to help paralyzed rats walk again. They would intentionally cut the rat’s spine to prevent brain signals from reaching the legs and then try to get them to walk again. The researchers discovered that the nerves in the rat’s spine could heal themselves if the rat was motivated to…

Everyone has asked the question why haven’t we found a cure? Most illnesses that were drastic in the past have been treated and cured using animals as test subject. Throughout the years many innocent…

Nowadays using animals in scientific research is a common thing. According to peta.org, more than 100 million animals are used in the US laboratories for medical research, biology classes, cosmetics testing, smoking experiments, and so on. In fact, many people consider using animals in scientific research as inhumane while others believe it’s totally acceptable to test on animals. Using animals in scientific research may seem to be cruel; however, the benefits scientists get from animal testing…

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that have a variety of purposes. Those purposes range from peaceful aerial photography and recreation to uses in war and terror. With such a range of uses, many fear for the worse and think that regulations aren’t enough and that drones should be banned from private use. But their uses in farming, law enforcement, and recreation have showed promise over the last few years. Even though some believe that they should be banned, in reality the good outways the bad…

The health of people and animals are extremely important.”Antibiotic Resistance refers to bacteria that evolve to the point they are not easily killed by antibiotics” (Dorman N.pag.). Antibiotics in livestock are a crucial part of the livestock industry, but with antibiotic resistance in humans occurring more and more often researchers believe that antibiotics in meat are the leading source of this issue. Although, antibiotics has the issue of resistance, there are more positive sides to the…

Becoming a laboratory technician to work with DNA to create real Jurassic Park has many risks. The likelihood of being able to do so is highly unlikely. First, according to the movie, DNA fragments of dinosaurs were found in amber but only small fragments of a few individual genes were obtained. Without the entire intact genome, it is difficult to reconstruct a dinosaur with only select gene fragments. Also, it has been found that it is impossible for the DNA of the dinosaurs to have survived…

Like dogs, cats have been around for thousands of years, and these felines have been continuously bred to keep their lineages which highlight their distinct features. While most cats have common physical characteristics such as round or lean faces, shortened snouts, inward-folded ears, and an assortment of fur color, textures, and lengths, pedigreed dogs have more differences. Some dogs are short-legged, while others are tall and lean, and some can weigh almost the same as humans. The Cat…

Animals experience the same pain level as humans. So with animal testing we are putting animals through a lot of pain. Nevertheless, with animal testing we are killing over 100 million animals every year. We are also killing over 22,000 cats every year, cats are also known as one of the most kindest animals. Even though people think that we are saving human lives by risking animals lives. This is not always the case, drugs they may work on animals may not always work on humans…
