An AL argues that the interests of animals should be considered because they experience pain and suffering. They argue that the ethics of equality should be applied to other animals; all beings capable of suffering are worthy of equal consideration. Intelligence, value…

Animals are not equal. People claim animals have the right to live but they would probably kill a spider if see one. The moral status animals is complex since not all animals are treated equal. In this essay, I would argue that non-human animals are used for human benefits. Animals are necessary for medical advancement. With animal research, it saved and improved countless number of lives.

Lizards belong in a large class of animals called Reptilia, which contains over 8225 species. Reptiles are animals that are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates that breathe air. Most reptiles are oviparous (egg-laying) animals with the exception of some ovoviviparous (live-bearing) constrictor snakes and vipers, as well as a few lizard species. They are also theropods, vertebrate animals that have four limbs or are descended from animals with four limbs. Deciphering the lizard classification…

1) To perform a cellophane tape test for lice you can use cellophane or regular tape. First, (after putting gloves on) you place the tape on the skin and hair so that the sticky part of the tape can collect any visible or non-visible parasites. Try to pick up visible, abnormal particles present from the skin or hair. Collecting the whole hair shaft is useful to see if the lice have infested themselves deeper in into the skin. Once you have obtained the hair sample, place it on a slide with…

They use patterns to identify with others, then relate the ideas of others with their own in order to make sense of situations. To relate to something, is to find a pattern of similarity between two things and to use it to understand something about the other.

Medical progress rarely occurs without raising ethical issues. These issues are not limited to the use of emerging technologies or human subjects, but extend to the use of non-human animals in medical research. While there is growing concern about the use of animals in research, it seems that supporters and critics of animal rights have focused on the wrong question. That is, whether it is ethically justifiable to use animals as subjects in research if they experience human-like qualities such…
