Medical research

decades, the use of animals for medical testing has been a topic of heated debate. In the US alone, it is estimated that 23 million animals are used for testing a year; the question is, is this necessary? Different people have contrasting views on this topic mostly because of diverse feelings for animals amongst the population. Some people view animals as family members and companions, while others view animals as a means for advancing medical techniques. Scientist and medical researchers say…

Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, is the use of animals to conduct experiments or do research in the laboratory. Animals have been repeatedly used for centuries to advance the understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology. Such experiments were performed by early Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC), Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), and Galen (129 – 210 AD) (Hajar). Animal testing can be crucial to scientific development because they…

testing (Peta, par 1)." Performing research on animals should be illegal because it is unethical to sentence animals to life in a laboratory cage and intentionally cause them harm. Animals who are caged continuously without any freedom should be considered animal cruelty. Many researchers should also understand that animal testing does not always accurately predict results in humans. Animals are different from humans and that can bring about poor testing results. Research that involves testing…

Animal testing has played a huge role in the advancement of cures for humans during this last century according to “Foundation for Biomedical Research” (Prot-Test 2006). Animal testing has become defined as the research carried out on animals. Mainly every drug or products that humans use has involved animal testing (What is Animal Testing?). With animal testing scientists are capable to test the safety of new medicine and products released to the public such as the safety of cosmetics,…

John Gadbois October 21, 2017 ELA Opinionated Essay Animal Testing Research has been substantially enhanced throughout thousands of years by the use of animal testing. Animals have been part of many scientists’ experiments ever since before the time of Christ and have been given many contradicting opinions upon if it is right or not. Right or wrong, those who would often argue do unexpectedly agree at the reason of there being other ways we can experiment. While this is somewhat true, more than…

Tiffany Batiste SSCI 306 TUES-THURS Testing 1, 2, 3: Animal Cruelty or Vital Aspect to Medical Advancement? “And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. They shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, and the whole earth, and all the creeping things that creep on earth." And God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1.24) As human beings, we bear hardship through a numerous…

and to help animals themselves. This practice should continue to make sure humans are healthy and have proper treatments for their illnesses. For example, according to the US-based, Foundation for Biomedical Research: “Animal research has played a vital role in virtually every major medical advance of the last century --for both human and veterinary health. From antibiotics to blood transfusions, from dialysis to organ transplantation, from vaccinations…

while also sometimes helping the animals. Animal testing is a good way to test medical things because it saves human lives, the advancements can supplement but not replace animal testing, and it advances the medical industry. Mostly everyone can agree that saving human lives is a good thing. As in the words of one author, “without animal testing, there will be no new drugs for new hard-to-treat diseases”. (Animal Research 1) Because is important to treat as many diseases as we can,…

1940(Foundation for Biomedical Research).Progress in this area has come from one thing, and that is animal research. Diseases that used to kill millions of people each year are now either preventable, treatable or have been completely been eradicated . Without animal research, these vaccines would not exist and the survival rates for many major diseases are much greater because of the discovery of powerful new drugs, surgical procedures and the design of advanced medical…
