Ethical Principles Essay

Sometimes, when we are confronted with an animal, we are quick to judge based on their physical appearance. In events like adoption, the cute animal is the one most likely to get adopted. Pets such as dogs are picked based on size and age. If they are small or young, they are considered cute and are the ones getting adopted. The people adopting in this case, are using superficial anthropomorphism, an inadequate type of anthropomorphism. However, what about wild animals that are illegally sold…

Animal Test Subjects in Biomedical Research INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: The first evidence of animal testing dates back to ancient times, where scientists studied the anatomical structures of deceased subjects (Scutti). Living animals were experimented on by Greek physician-scientists and used to examine nerves and tendons (Scutti). In Rome, during the 2nd century, a physician named Galen of Pergamum practiced anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology on animals (Scutti). He was the first…

Each day while walking through the dorms, in the halls, and in the restrooms I see it. My skin crawls just seeing how normalized this inhumanity is. Now I’m not talking about some horrific criminal behavior, some deliberate heinous act. The atrocity I am seeing is as inconspicuous and tame as a simple tube of mascara. I am talking about the widespread use of animal testing on the cosmetic products we use every day. From hairspray to lip gloss, beauty products are routinely tested for harmful…

are cruelty free or are working on being cruelty free such as, The United States, Taiwan, Canada, Brazil, Australia and others. More than one million animals die due to experimentation. People have created organizations like PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals), CAAT (center for alternatives for animal testing) and the ECEAE (European coalition to end animal experiments) do everything in their power to prevent more countries from supporting animal testing and cruelty. The first…

Some people claim that animal research is necessary because there are no alternatives. According to ¨Why are animals used in research,¨ animals are the best subject to research on because they are usually more reliable and they precise. The same source also claimed that animals are better than other subjects because they have a lot in common with humans and are the closest things we can get to exact replicas. Although animals are similar to humans, we do have many other ways that can be more…

and very lonely and aren’t able to interact with other animals, and aren’t able to defend themselves. Many different types of species have to suffer everyday because of animal testing.

Animals bodies are very different from humans.We keep doing new test on animals even if they won't benefit us at all. Animals could react positively to a drug but it could be harmful to humans…

How has science contributed to the modern Cinderella makeover?. Science plays a big part in makeup because chemist and engineers are always working on creating new products for people to use and then they improve the old ones. To make makeup related products you need intensive research and advanced technology to make sure the substances are able to be applied on the face. The advantages in having science in makeup is that scientist, chemist and researchers make sure that people don't get any…

information gathered from animal research In conclusion, there are other ways to gather information other than animal testing but they are less reliable and more costly. Animal testing is the best solution to our medical complications. It is the only ethical way to find answers for our…

Do you enjoy being free? Do you appreciate that you, a human being in the U.S., are not forced to do things by others? That you, for the most part, are able to chose how you live your life and what happens in it. You aren’t locked up, unless you commit a crime that is, and you aren't’ a slave or just another object or resource to someone. Its safe to assume that you’re happy about that right? Because some others aren’t so lucky. Tens of thousands, even a 100000 or more animals, like rabbits,…

If it is okay to treat animals like they don’t feel anything, then why is it that humans are not the ones being tested on? There are plenty of bad apple humans that can surely be tested on for experimentation. It seems as though scientists and researchers value human lives over the lives of animals. This is unacceptable as all lives matter and should all be treated fairly! The rhesus monkeys that underwent experimentation for love were un-cared for. Harlow should have conducted his experiment…
