(Goodman). Secondly, research on chimpanzees has improved the quality of life for humans, while also treating the animals humanely. Dr. Francis Collin, Director of National Institute of Health (NIH), confirms that research on animals has enabled scientists to create new solutions for illnesses, to help increase our life span, and to improve our well-being. An NIH Committee states that they are “committed to conducting and supporting high-quality science in the interest of advancing public…

Then, in the modern era, scientists relied on animals to invent and make drugs and vaccines. Nevertheless, these days we also use animals for verity of things, such as, medicines, artificial body parts, vaccines, and “surgical techniques.” Many countries use animals to examine the safety of drugs, for example, in the U.S. all new drugs have to be tested on animals because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires so. Since drugs are tested on animals, scientists and pharmacists can insure…

common to think that animal testing is necessary, but each year, millions of animals are killed in laboratories for drug, chemical, and cosmetic testing. Some animals are forced to breathe toxic fumes, while others have holes drilled into their skulls, causing pain and suffering. Some scientists use the excuse that animal testing has benefited human life, but by focusing on the justification that scientists have given, Americans overlook the deeper problem of animal research. According to…

responsible for a hundred million casualties in many animals due to the use of animal experimentation. This form of experimentation has been the bases of scientific research for many decades, even though, it may not be the most ethical way to discover new medical and cosmetic advancements. While they are taking advantage of their beauty products and vaccines, many lives are lost trying to perfect product for human consumption. The cost of perfecting such items is costly not for humans at least…

and development of medical research has left scientists in the crossroads on the ethics behind the entire operation. Approximately twenty-six million animals are in the United Stated each year for both scientific and commercial testing, in which these animals are used for a wide range of dangerous procedures. These animals are used for testing the safety of medications for human consumption, determining the toxicity of medical procedures, and ultimately develop stable medical treatments to name…

Animals have been used in laboratories across the globe for centuries. Whether it has been to test new drugs, plants, and multiple synthetic products, animals have always been the go-to ‘Guineapigs’ for testing new products and medications. However it was only recently that the pain and suffering that the animals in these laboratories face was made common knowledge. Thousands upon thousands of animals around the world are forced to inhale deadly toxins, swallow pills, have toxic liquids inserted…

At this moment thousands of animals are locked inside tiny cages in laboratories across the country. They are constantly feeling pain, loneliness, and fear of the test these scientists are performing on them. "Information from the Office of Technology Assessment estimated between 17 and 23 million animals are used in research each year" (Why Are Animals Necessary in Biomedical Research). Animal testing has been a controversial issue for several years and is debated whether it is right or wrong.…

With America choosing to throw out products tested on animals, the question people must ask themselves is, is animal testing really that bad? Arguing that rats who were born in laboratories and raised to be tested on is wrong, it makes people wonder if it really is bad. Animals are very similar to humans and resemble them outstandingly. With critters slowly becoming a widely talked about source in the world, communities have begun a debate about what side to be on. “My own experience of over 60…

Earth, describes how in the medical field of humane science there are three R’s every method of testing must follow. The three R’s include: replacement, refinement, and reduction. These must be used when determining alternative methods of testing. Vencatesan states that the most radical ideology of the three R method proposed is Replacement, while Refinement is a more subtle approach “which advocates the reduction of incidence or severity of distress experienced by laboratory animals…” and…

year, nearly one hundred million animals --including mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, etc.-- die in many United States laboratories because of cosmetic, medical and biology testing, and experiments that serve no purpose. To understand the true terrors of animal testing, people need to know what animals are going through. Animals in laboratories suffer from day-to-day protocols and laboratory life, many do not even get a chance to experience fresh air or sunshine because they live in cages. There…
