Multivariate testing

research for centuries. Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC) and Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), performed experiments on living animals. An Arab physician in twelfth century Spain, Ibn Zuhr, introduced animal testing as an experimental method for testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients (Hajar). Recently, however, the science and medical community has come under fire for these experiments. Many have criticized the inhumane way these animals are…

in a way the animals were for the experiment. The importance of animal testing not only comes from understanding diseases but also for drug developments. The importance of testing on animals was re-enforced during the twentieth century following several adverse effects caused by not doing so. An example is the drug thalidomide, a painkiller for morning sickness that was marketed in late the 1950s. Because no animal testing was done, the company was unaware of the severe side effects of this…

Animal Testing Millions of animals die every day as a result to animal testing. Nancy Day said “ animals have been used in research for more than two thousand years”(p.37). Day also said” Galen, who was born in A.D. 129, is considered the founder of experimental physiology”(p.37). Day also said “it takes an average of seven years to test a new drug before the FDA can approve it for the general public”(p.31).Day also said ”critics of animal experimentation say that animals get different forms of…

Animal Experimentation Animal Experimentation has been around since the 1960s. Animal testing has been a routine part of getting shampoos, lotions, lipsticks and many other products on the shelves. There is a public misconception that rats and mice are the only animals being used in experimentation and that the experiments are protected through the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, or the Code of Practice, but we know that neither of these are true. Animal experimentation is a cruel…

I have always demonstrated productive work habits, during the first half of the year working in IE 11 project, I managed the production elevate of 8 ClaimStation embedded applications, all the applications elevates were planned and managed efficiently in terms of time, money and other resources. Being the TSO of the IE 11 project, I implemented and enforced procedures through which we were able to deliver applications on time with high quality; Un-necessary and costly duplication of effort was…

Although some topics may be considered controversial, they need to be talked about. This is true with the subject of animal testing. In an article published in the New York Times, "Second Thoughts of an Animal Researcher", author John P. Gluck informs the reader why a scientist, who formerly conducted experiments on monkeys, would change his views to be against the practice of animal experimentation. He does this by using personal experiences. In another article, "Animal Research is Wasteful and…

has been whether or not animals should be use for medical testing. On the one hand, some scientists argue that animal testing has contributed for many cures and treatments. On the other hand, animal rights activist contends that alternative methods now exist that can replace the need for animals. Others even maintain that animal testing is an essential part in medical research. My own view is that animals should not be used for medical testing because is no longer necessary now there are methods…

So if genetic testing can be so beneficial, why is it ethically controversial? As President Bill Clinton once said, we must “recognize that this extraordinary march of human understanding imposes on us profound responsibilities, to make sure that the age of discovery can continue to reflect our most cherished values” ("President Clinton 's Comments on the Signing," 2013). Because of its nature, genetic testing leads to a whole host of potential problems including genetic discrimination, the use…

animals are poisoned, crippled, abused, and killed in laboratories each year. There is only one federal law prohibiting the inhumane treatment of laboratory animals and this law is null to ninety-five percent of the animals being tested. Whole-animal testing is antiquated, and progressive scientists have already developed thousands of more accurate laboratory tests that are cheaper, faster, and most importantly, don 't involve animals. The world doesn 't need another eyeliner, concealer, or…

research plays in the search for medical advancements, treatments and cures for people and animals. Through public awareness, video, educational and media campaigns, they hope to achieve their mission. With this advertisement, they hope to make animal testing more widely accepted and not thought of as “controversial.” “Who would you rather see live?” This is the question posed by the ResearchSaves ad campaign. It was created in 2011 by The Foundation of Biomedical Research (FBR.) The ad depicts…
