Animal testing does not bring accurate results, it…

Do you have a pet at home? If so have you ever considered animals just like your pet and many others being used for medical research to help create medicine that will keep you healthy? You may not know it but animals are more than just a man's best friend. Imagine living in a world where illnesses plagued everyone and advancements in medicine was scarce. The number of people dying everyday grew out of control. That's what the world would be like if animals weren't used in research. "Sixty-five…

Animal Testing Ranim Habbal “I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That’s is the way of a whole human being.” Abraham Lincoln. Animal testing is a very controversial issue.

Animal Testing The issue of animal testing has been a topic for heated discussions for the recent years. It is necessary to point out that humans and animals have significant biological similarities which make it possible for the scientists to predict human's reaction to certain chemicals, cosmetics, and medicine . There are three major areas of animal testing including biomedical research, animals test using, and the cost of animal testing The first major area of animal testing is…

Using animals in scientific research has been a heated debate and highly controversial topic for decades. Is animal testing morally right or wrong?

Why is it socially acceptable to test on animals and not test on humans themselves? People test anything from cosmetics to possibly life changing medicine on sentient beings. We are forcing these poor creatures to put their life on the line for our benefit. If we want to test to see if a certain make up tool or medicine will harm us, humans should be the ones to go through the testing themselves. Animal testing is unethical, inhumane, harmful, and down right disturbing. It is time to stop the…

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…
