Experimentation leads to the well-being of the human race as well as the animal population. For example, the findings of cures for diseases, conditions, and more can favor the human population because as a whole people will be endangered less. Another reason why people support animal testing is that animals can benefit from the experimentation themselves. Studies have shown how and why animal research is so valuable to the normal human, animals, and the military. The…
Animal Experimentation Millions of animals are used everyday for scientific experimentation. This practice has been around for years dating back as far back as 500 BC. People of ancient times would want to experiment on animals just out of curiosity. Understandable, but has created such a dilemma in today’s society. There are many arguments going back and forth on if animal testing should be continued or stopped due to the reality of it all. The reality is that animal testing is cruel,…
Animal Experimentation needed in the 21ST Century? Imagine if you were in a cage, imprisoned with no way out. You’re hungry, apathetic, and in pain but you’re only allowed to eat whenever they want you to eat, you’re only allowed to get out whenever they need you, and instead of alleviating your pain they increase it. They’ve drugged you, dissected you, and tested on you without even asking for your consent. Did you do something wrong? Was it your destiny to be trapped and used for the benefit…
The Truth Of Animal Experimentation Animal experimentations consists of the careless and damaging testing of commercial and scientific products on all sort of animals, for differents purposes, such as: safety, benefits or toxicity for the human use. We are all aware of the existence of current regulations for this activity, but the actual data of the animals protected by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), a law approved in 1966, is just the 5% . 1,134,693 animals were reported by AWA in 2010.…
animals go through excruciatingly painful tests that cause suffering and usually end in death, just so researchers can predict what might happen to a human if they were to use the product being tested. Animal testing is a controversial subject but in the end, it is unreliable, cruel, unjustified, and should come to an end. To begin with, animal experimentation provides unreliable test results and false information on the side effects of products. In the article, Animal Testing…
Animal Experimentation: Helping Humans, Hurting Animals Animal experimentation has been a resource for humans in centuries past to help better our survival, to some, it’s vital to humanity and to others, it should be eliminated completely. The controversy of animal testing has been going on since ancient times. For example, the Greeks used animals for scientific or religious purposes. Some of the world’s best philosophers have given their opinion on animal testing (Stump, Paragraph #1). For…
medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. There is debate whether animal testing is causing more harm than good. My sources indicate that there is a fine line drawn between human needs and taking advantage of the species that we consider inferior to us, their debate raises the question: is physical pain caused to animals worth finding the cure? The primary purpose of this medical research is to promote human health. The study of…
highly controversial argument of using animals for scientific or commercial testing. Chimpanzees have 99% of their DNA in common with humans; furthermore, mice are 98% comparable to humans on a genetic level. The United States and Gabon are the main two nations that permit experimentation with chimpanzees (ProCon.org). “95% of animals” utilized in experimentation are not “protected by the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA), which excludes birds, rats and mice bred for research, and cold-blooded…
mistreatment looks like in our society today. From animal experimentation to factory farms, the abuse can been hidden away from the eyes of our society (Clemmitt 3). However, with the spread of social media, animal experimentation has advanced to the public. Scientists tormenting animals for the sake of knowledge, chemical safety, and medical research became viral within minutes throughout the world (Hubrecht 2). Philosophers and…
Animal Experimentation The used of animal in scientific and medical experiments has been many years from the past and each year 17 to 22 million animals were utilized worldwide. (Source) Animal experimentation defined that animal testing was used to introduce biology lessons, medical training, cosmetics testing, to find new drugs, chemical, and food. The scientists have to do the experiment on animal to see those drugs, and foods are safe for the human or not. In the other hand, the majority of…
