High-stakes testing

The Benefits and Environmental Impacts of Animal Testing In the scientific community, the impacts of using animals in research have been debated for hundreds of years. Those who have interests in the matter analyze the history behind it and statistics surrounding its current use to see whether animal testing should continue. One end of the debate, the use of both domesticated and wild animals in scientific experiments has been praised for its contributions to scientific and medical advancements…

ultimately death. Animal testing has been an immense part of scientific research for years, but new technological resources of this generation prove that it is not only unethical but unnecessary. Since the animal 's body is different from the human body, it is inaccurate to predict the human’s reaction based off of how an animal reacts. We are made up of different organs than, say a cat. The author of the article "Results from Research on…

animal in the labs, monkeys, has been able to take in high doses of a drug called Paracetamol, a medicine that relieves pain and fevers, but for humans, this drug would be extremely deadly. When given the drug that humans use on a regular bases such as Aspirin, cats, mice, and rats were very intoxicated by the drug. The intoxication was so severe that if Aspirin had been based on the test results, this product would not be on the shelves (Animal-Testing). With all of these facts, it is hard to…

the fact that animals are still used as testing subjects. Animal testing is a very unethical and terrible thing to do on another living creature. Animals are suppose to obtain love and happiness from humans, but instead scientists are using them for research and are treating them terribly. Animals have rights that should be heard, there are other possible methods that can be used instead, and animals will end of reacting differently than humans for testing on…

Animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures (“Harm and Suffering," 2016). Animal testing had been traced back as far as the seventeenth century because of Harvey’s experiments on numerous animals in an attempt to demonstrate blood circulation. Although in 1876,…

animals in the United States are utilized for animal testing. Animals are utilized to test logical improvements and cosmetic products. New medicines are tried on animals to check the poisonous quality of new medications or the security of an item that will be utilized on people. The human services and business commercial enterprises additionally swing to animal testing hence. While some challenges the utilization of animals for animal testing, it is not another thought. Research tests directed…

being tested and injured are being tested with products with chemicals in them that are extremely dangerous. Animal testing now is increasing more and more every year which ends in more animals being abused or dying from these chemicals. Even though these researchers inflict so much harm to these animals there is no law that makes it illegal for them to do this. The fact that animal testing is not illegal is just plain shocking since animals abuse is illegal but these “test” are not. Those 100…

experimental science that progresses as time goes on. I believe that if researchers stopped testing on animals, they would just find a way around regulations to still be able to do so or just continue the practice in private because medicine is constantly evolving and they need to make sure something is safe before marketing it to the public. Looking at it from this aspect, I fully agree with animal testing because I cannot imagine medical researchers distributing products that have an unknown…

types of testing in the United States every year (Animal Testing - Procon.org). These tests range from developing medical treatments, determining the toxicity of medications, checking the safety of products that will be used by humans, to healthcare and commercial uses (Animal Testing - Procon.org). Proponents to animal research and testing back their views up with the fact that there are laws in place to prevent the mistreatment of animals, such as the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) (Animal Testing -…

Animal Experimentation “The question is not, can they reason, nor, can they talk. But, can they suffer?” Jeremy Bentham said this in regards to all of the animals that are victimized during animal testings performed by the many different kinds of people. The general consensus seems to be that, animal testing is something that “just happens” in this world. When people turn a blind eye to this heinous behavior, they fail to realize that animals actually are really suffering and it’s just for…
