Human experimentation

Is Animal Life worth more than Human Life? Did you know that if it wasn’t for animal testing we wouldn’t be able to vaccinate ourselves against rabies, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tuberculosis, and many more? Animal testing is experiment done on animals for the betterment of products from medications to cosmetics. The pros of animal testing is that there is no other way to test on an living, whole body system, and there are laws protecting animals and their rights. The cons of animal testing…

Testing Effects in the United States. Albert Sabin, who developed the Polio vaccine said, "Without animal research, polio would still be claiming thousands of lives each year.” Recent studies show an estimated 26 million animals are used for testing. Humans have been testing on animals for centuries. Aristotle and Erasistratus are among the first to perform experiments on living animals, without forgetting Galen who practiced vivisection. Over the last centuries, the number of animals used in…

The animal testing process does help researchers for scientific advancement required in drug and cosmetic testing. This is to ensure the safety of humans. However, does the process of animal testing humane at all? Do its benefits justify the suffering caused by humans to animals? Thus, Laura and I will defend the rights of animals by stating different disadvantages in animal testing. Life in the laboratory is a world away from the natural environment. They are often housed in isolation, in…

the use of human tissue in toxicity testing is more accurate than animal models. The LD50 test is where animals are forced to intake toxic substances. About 50% of animals in the study end up dead, and the remaining are later killed. That’s why from a cytotoxicology lab in Sweden, Dr. Bjorn Ekwall has created a replacement for the lethal test. This test has a precision rate of about 85%, whereas the LD50 test has a rate of 61-65%. Not only is it more accurate, it also uses donated human tissue,…

to resemble human organs and so much more inhumane experiments for the purpose of ‘medical advancements’. However this depiction of animal testing can vary between the two ‘sides’ of animal…

Frankenstein, Freddy Kruger, the Blob, Godzilla, the bogeyman are all fictional monsters that have haunted humanity for generations, known for the terror they spread. Unfortunately, not all monsters are fictional; there are even some masquerading as humans that show no humanity or compassion. Second only to Hitler himself, Dr. Joseph Mengele is the most notorious monster since the last millennium. Dr. Mengele performed a myriad of horrid experiments in the hops of not only creating the perfect…

alternative methods and testing strategies have been developed, validated and accepted by international regulatory authorities. For example, using EpiSkin, EpiDerm, and SkinEthic are artificial human skin, and can save thousands of rabbits each year from skin corrosion and irritation tests. All three of these artificial human skins have been approved to replace animal testing. A lot of cures for diseases have seen hardly any progress despite decades of animal research. Over a thousand potential…

would become important for human subject research, Nuremberg Code. The Nuremberg code, also known as Permissible Medical Experiments, is the first international code of ethics. The Nuremberg Code is what would come to be the basic principles required in order for a human subject research to be conducted with enough moral, ethical and legal concepts. As a result of this the Nuremberg Code now…

Humans argue that animals are not capable of grasping moral concepts, such as rights. However, humans are animals that do have rights. People have fought and continue to fight to give a voice to animals. “We are a predator of predators,” said the study’s lead author, Chris Darimont, Hakai-Raincoast professor at the University of Victoria in British Columbia and science director for the Raincoast Conservation Foundation,” reported by EcoWatch “Humans: The Worst Predator on the Planet”. Animal…

far and has helped saved many lives. Without animal testing we wouldn’t have as much medical knowledge that we have today. Claude Bernard, known as the ‘Father of Vivisection,’ believes that we need animal testing to gain medical knowledge by experimentation(Sun). Animal testing has helped us discover penicillin, insulin, many vaccines, etc. It has also helped…
