During this lab report, we observed the anatomy of a rat. Our task was to dissect a rat and identify its internal organs along with the function of those organs. We carefully removed 10 organs from our rat to take notes on. What we noticed was the homologous structures of the rats were closely related to our own body composition. Their internal organs were positioned in close relation to where ours takes shape, and they looked immensely similar. In addition to their location and size, the rat's…
Animal testing is simple and studies show mice having practically the identical connection to human genes. Organ-on-a chip designs take time and there are always possibilities to stop it from working. At the end of the day, mice can mimic human genes effectively. How could organs-on-a-chip ever beneficially cure diseases in comparison to animal testing? To be precise, organs-on-a-chip will soon be one of the most operational and constructive chips to discover cures. Harvard University…
concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses. Every year the cost of animals to use for experimenting goes up. Animal testing has first been used in 1242, a man named Ibn al-Nafis provided accurate descriptions of the circulation of blood in mammals. However, the use of animal testing is inhumane and virtually unethical. Animals have been living on Earth longer than humans. Animals used in experiments…

Animal testing also helps to find medical treatments. In fact, many medical treatments have been made possible through animal testing, including cancer, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more (Cook). Kristina Ccook, a scientist, relates that thanks to animal testing, Smallpox [which was tested on cows] has now been eradicated from earth [while p]olio has been eradicated from North America and people in countries all over the world are being successfully treated [thanks to testing done on…
advancements in human health. There are no other alternatives to animal experimentation that are as effective. Animals are very similar to humans. Chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans, and mice share 98% of their DNA with humans (Animal Testing). Since animals are so similar to humans, they are the ideal test subjects. They have shorter life spans and therefore the experiments can…
Unfortunately, in light of these discoveries many animals are being used in research testing and toxicity testing. Animal testing in medicine results in unnecessarily disposal of toxic waste, bedding, caging, food products, needles and chemicals with unknown dangers. As someone who is considering a career in the field of medicine and research, I believe that we are responsible to find alternative methods to animal research and testing to reduce the contamination of our ecosystem. According to…
procedure that could harm or even kill them. This is animal abuse. 67 percent of people believe that it is wrong for animals to be tested on, and I am one of them. In the further paragraphs I’m going to tell you why animal testing needs to stop now. Many people wonder what animal testing, animal experimentation, or animal research is. It is used to determine the safety and performance of a product. Before selling a product at a store,…
Animal Experimentation and Research Many lives are lost each year as a result of disease, and scientists are frantically trying to keep up by producing cures to new diseases. Experimentation in animals is a common method to achieving such a cure. The experimentation is controversial for several key reasons. Animal rights has been an issue for several decades, and the ethics of experimenting are constantly being questioned. Yet animal experimentation clearly has benefits to humankind and has…
incredibly unreliable. The FDA has proved that 92% of all drugs that are tested and shown safe and effective on animals fail on human trials. Of the small percentage that do work half are relabeled because of side effects not revealed in animal tests. Testing on an animal shows almost no correlation to the effect on humans. Penicillin kills guinea pigs but is inactive in rabbits. Aspirin kills cats and causes birth defects in rats, mice,…
