Parental alienation syndrome, at first the term was foreign to me, until after reading the definition I then noticed that not only did I understand its definition, but I could also relate it to my own personal life which was my reason for choosing this topic for my paper. Throughout my paper I will critique the credibility of the magazine article “Teaching Kids to Hate” published by Jose Fernandez of the American Bar Association in June 1988, by comparing it to the following educational…
intelligence. One of the reasons why people believe that animals should not have rights is for animal testing. Scientists do testing on animals, since they already know animals have the same organs as we do. Researchers use surgical techniques including kidney transplants, hearts transplants and even blood transfusions that are achieved in unfortunate animals. Another reason why people do animals testing is to provide the public with medicine. The same veterinary medicines used on animals like…
wishes of both parents, relationship status of the child with parents, and care giving, adjustment to school and community, access to interaction with relatives, relationship with other household members, mental and physical health of the parents, parental use of discipline and emotional abuse, substance abuse, and sexual abuse. A child that is of appropriate age that can justify their selection of custodial parent is taken into consideration with all other best interest factors. Standards may…
Along with enhancing animal safety steps, another thing that everybody can do is try and find non-animal alternatives to animal testing. The issue about non-animal alternatives is that they aren’t always easy to find or reliable when it comes to possibly deadly drugs (Hajar). One alternative in particular has shown to be very promising. They are called in silico tests. These tests are computer-based tests that function much like a virtual screening. This allows for tests to be conducted on the…
Animals or Humans? Animal Testing, animal experimentation, and animal research are all considered the same thing. It refers to the experimentation carried out on animals whether it is conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies or farms. It is used to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medication and household products to cosmetics and pesticides, as well as find out exactly how the human body moves and functions. Millions of innocent animals are investigated or…
These animals are subjected to the very hazardous defects they seek to prevent. With alternative scientific methods already in place, the abolishment of cosmetic animal testing has already been instituted in Europe. The seventh amendment to the European Union Cosmetics Directive prohibited putting animal-tested cosmetics on the market in after 2013 (Fentem, Chamberlain, & Sangster, 2004). Although government inspections…
dark, about many of the types of diseases that can spread on to humans. With that being said, the total riddance of animal testing will set back the development of crucial medical devices, medicines, and treatment (Hajar). Those who support this idea that animals are vital to medical advancement point to the American Welfare Act’s strict controls about the use of animal testing, particularly regarding potential pain. As stated in the above paragraphs, the act regulates the alleviation and…
While animal testing remains an ethical debate today, there are ways individuals can help settle the ongoing issue at hand. It shouldn’t be necessary for animals to be killed in the range of thousands every year. What many people do not know is that many animals are now locked up in cages. They are tested and are given harsh treatments. They experience loneliness, stress and discomfort. We do not need to put animals through the unnecessary and painfully cruel reality that takes place during the…
Using Outdated Methods As technology advances computers become faster, science is able to reach to an even further understanding in research. While this is true Doke and Dhawale state in Alternatives to Animal Testing: A Review “Every year, millions of experimental animals are used all over the world” (224). The use of animals for research and lab experiments is not only an outdated method that harms animals, but is also unreliable and unneeded. Using animals for research and experimentation,…
conscious. This is not a scene from a horror movie, but the actual life of ill-fated animals that were captured or bred for the use of animal testing. These animals are poke, prodded, and tortured for the sake of science to better improve man kind, but is science actually worth the never-ending suffering…
