Should using animals as test subjects for new drugs or makeup cosmetics be allowed? Or should people, be the subjects? In this essay I will be explaining some important key points…

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…

Animal Testing: A Cruel Abuse or Vital Aspect of Research? As technology, medication, and new products are being altered and developed, animal testing labs are growing greatly in size (Casey). The term “animal testing” refers to the experimentation and studies conducted on living animals in the name of science.

The throngs of questions concerning this matter have skyrocketed, yet how often are these concerns addressed? For that matter, how many citizens even understand what cosmetic animal testing entails? As defined by Humane Society International, “the term ‘animal testing’ refers to procedures performed on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology” (About Animal Testing).…

Animal testing is inhumane and neglects animals’ rights. While animal testing is vile and does not uphold animal rights, it is necessary for medical research. We shouldn't pause medical research because activists feel bad for an overpopulated species. In “Using Animals For Testing: Pros Versus Cons” ,Ian Murnaghan, a medical writer, elucidates his “Personal Choice” saying, “ While there are numerous pros and cons of animal testing, ethical aspect overshadows both of them, which means that…

Introduction "...even if considerable congruence were shown between an animal model and its corresponding human disease, interspecies differences in physiology, behavior, pharmacokinetics, and genetics would significantly limit the reliability of animal studies, even after a substantial investment to improve such studies" (Akhtar 411). Animal experimentation is one of the oldest…

In essence, animal rights is the idea that non-human animals should be treated with respect as an individual with inherent value, and the belief that they are entitled to the possession of their own lives. However, with the increase in demand for new cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the need for medical research, these rights have been violated by the act of animal testing. I will argue that animal testing shouldn’t be a method we adopt. In support of my claim, I will offer three reasons. Firstly,…

The common idiomatic expression “be the guinea pig” has a controversial and deeper meaning behind it that many people don’t even realize. In society, we use the guinea pig as a symbol of being the first to try something, typically a dangerous task or unpalatable concoction. No one wants to be the guinea pig.
