Macaque

genetically similar to humans could help find cures to various diseases. However, there are many previous examples show that medicines display no negative effects on animals, yet have detrimental effects on humans’ body. The belief of the advantages of medical research continues to be spread. Rhesus macaques are one of the most common animals used in medical experiments as their genetic sequences are highly similar to humans. From a general perspective, it might be argued that medical research is a billion-dollar industry which putting it in Grant’s (2006) point of “money drives cruelty toward animals.” From an intersectional critical…

For starters, animals should only be used for serious health conditions. The NIH committee encourages scientist to continue using chimps to find a vaccine for hepatitis C virus (NIH). Also, according to The Independent Newspaper, using animals will benefit tremendously for diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Wall Street Journal writer, Frankie L. Trull, confirms that “Patients with aggressive brain tumors finally have a reason for hope. Thanks to the work of scientist and physicians at…

chapter six Monkey Love, Harry Harlow experiment on monkeys to demonstrate the psychology of attachment. Harry was doing research on monkeys heart and head. While he was doing these research he realized that the infant macaques were separated from their mothers. The infant macaques got attached to terry cloth towels, they loved these towels. This is when Harlow questioned why the infant monkeys had an attachment to the towel. Harlow decided to experiment on these monkeys. He would take them…

livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground” (Genesis 1: 26). Even though as humans we have more capabilities than animals, I must disagree with the position of utilizing God’s word in defense of torturing animals. For instance, it has been discovered that, “in research and testing, animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing…

They think animals should be tested, because they really do not have rights, and we can do whatever we want to do to animals. Frankie L. Trull says in a 2015 newspaper about animal testing and it’s gift to humans, “Before human trials began, the re-engineered virus was injected into the brains of macaque monkeys, whose systems operate similarly to those of humans” (Trull 4). Scientists used monkeys for this experiment because they are a lot like us humans, so they used them to test these…

desire to try and survive together, it was the environment they were in that ultimately turned them into savages. In chapter six of Opening Skinner 's Box, "Monkey Love" Lauren Slater introduced us to Harry Harlow, who was greatly known for experimenting with rhesus macaque monkeys and the way they expressed their feelings in regards to attachment (Slater 132). Slater explains the emotional indifference Harlow felt in relation to the monkeys. Harlow only cared to prove that he was to be the…

for years, it can’t be that bad. Little does anyone realize, there is another way we could conduct tests that do not harm animals in the slightest. No animals should be tested on because although a few studies have shown to help humans, the tests are very harmful to animals when there are other ways to test products. Should animals be used for biomedical research? In the article, “Animal Testing and Its Gifts to Humans” (April, 2015), written by Frankie Trull at the Wall Street Journal, it is…

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…

Animal experimentation should be used to advance our medical research and medicine. In our society today we cannot stop the use of animal experimentation; our technology isn’t that advanced. In this paper you will see for example, how nonhuman primates is vital to science, experiments on dogs have led to medical breakthroughs, and that it is not possible to replace animals in Medical research. Nonhuman Primates is essential in the advance of science. In the article “Experimenting on Nonhuman…

for support when they’re in a stressful or scary situation. Modeling is the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior which is also very influential. We learn by imitating even when we don 't mean to. To illustrate this, McLeod, S. explains in his article on nature versus nurture,”when an infant forms an attachment it is responding to the love and attention it has received, language comes from imitating the speech of others and cognitive development depends on the degree of…
