this sickening procedure as a grade. Most schools have realized that the practise of taking an animal 's life is a morbid thing to allow. Johns Hopkins and the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga are the last two schools that continue to use live animals to train students (Bruno 2015).After they are done practicing or experimenting on the animals they then kill them so they don 't have to suffer anymore. While these two schools continue to use live animals they do not require you to accomplish this task to graduate, which brings up the questions is it really even necessary? The answer is no, if it isn 't required then its must not be a very essential part of the course for students. Obviously other schools see this, that 's why 186 other medical schools in the U.S. and Canada--including every Ivy League medical school have done away with live animal research as part of their curricular (Bruno). When someone has to go through torturing an animal for science it changes them, they loose a part of themselves because they have to not care in order to complete their task. After a while that can get to a person and it can really start to affect them, they treat it as if it 's nothing. “ Medical students who work with the simulators forget what 's on the screen or on the table in front of them is not living and they do everything they can to save the life of that “patient”. But students at Johns Hopkins will never be able to save their…
experimentation has led to the development of treatments for diabetes, anthrax, rabies, polio and smallpox, as well as anti-depressants, tranquilizers and antibiotics” (ProQuest Staff). Many people think that animal experimentation is necessary because Scientifics can test products on them that humans will use; however animal experimentation is really cruel because those innocent creatures do feel pain too, animals are used for cosmetic purpose, and millions of animals die. It is assumed that…

Some animals in research, so this argument goes, are having psychological hurt. For example, according to the article of Harm and Suffering (2015), animals spent most of their life in barren cages, most of them have never task fresh air and sunshine until they are killed for the cruel experiment, they are unable to task the nature and the wide worlds. “In 2009, the monkeys in the undercover lab experiment were insanely spinning around the cages and biting themselves because of the stress they…
Animal testing, being in the top 10 of the most controversial biology topic, is a major topic of discussion. The debates surrounding animal testing in the biological community surround the worry of morality, human safety interests and economic concerns, all which generally impact the future of the so many companies whose products are used every day such as; Tide, Clorox, Maybelline, and so much more. We’ve been testing on animals since 1992 starting with isolating insulin from dogs. Even…
Did you know that “over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year”(“11 Facts About Animal Testing”)? Animals testing is the experimental, research, and testing of animals to help seek the different affects a product can have on someone. Many animals are abused daily to ensure the safety of cosmetics, medicine, and other products. They are also used to see if there are any side effects in a product, while also making sure they are safe for people to…
However, many animals who use in laboratory are suffering from different kinds of inhumane and cruel treatment. From transporting the animal to the laboratory to the experimental environment, there is a clear violation on the ethical principles. Many projects behind the laboratory always fail to the ethical treatment of animals and reflect a lack of concern and respect on their life. Within the laboratory walls, the animals are suffering from an inhuman and horrible life. We can imagine…
awarded to Emil von Behring in 1901 for creating an immunization for humans. He had to use an animal of course and Behring used a guinea pig to test his theories on diphtheria. Furthermore, in 1920 Edgar Adrian was also awarded a Nobel Prize for using a frog to prove the way the brain sends signals for communication. There was a poor outcome for the frog indubitable. During the 1950’s the drug anesthesia came about. Scientist used rodents, dogs, cats, monkeys and rabbits to test the…
experimentation continues to significantly increase, people are calling for an examination of the alternatives (“Animal Experimentation” 1). In 2012, 576,000 animals were used in immunology research. In cancer research, 501,000 animals were used, and 377,000 were used in toxicology research. For safety testing for human medicine 4,800 dogs and 3,000 primates were used (Drozdowska). Researchers and scientist are well aware of the debate about the ethics of animal testing. Conferences and…
Over the years, the debate whether science and faith can coincide has created an increasing amount of debates and has sparked the writings of leading theologians and scientists. For some, religion and science do not coincide and one must choose a side. This view is demonstrated in scientist and author, Jerry A. Coyne’s book, Faith vs. Fact. Here he openly rejects a bipartisanship and argues that “science and religion are incompatible, and you must choose between them” (7). Meanwhile, others such…
