Predictive testing

evolutionary standpoint as physiological responses may vary. However, animal models are required simply because experimentation on humans is tightly regulated while being surrounded by controversial ethical issues. As such, animal testing can be inaccurate but it possesses predictive value and the inaccuracy in relation to humans does not necessarily invalidate animal models but rather…

After studying multiple views on animal testing I have come to realize my personal view has now changed since the start of my research. Before undergoing heavy study into animal testing I believed that all types of animal testing should be stopped, but now I believe that the idea is very beneficial and should only be done when the rights of the animal are considered. In the coming years, hopefully, more regulations can be passed to ensure that all animal’s lives are protected during…

Testing cosmetics on animals is one of the most common methods animals are experimented on in laboratories. The United States does not require their cosmetic products be tested on animals before use. In contrast, countries like China are known for their strict policy of constructing tests on cosmetics using animals before they allow the products into the country. Some tests that are carried out in the experimentations are, chemicals rubbed onto shaved skin, or dripped into the eye of the animal…

Animal experimentation in fields of product safety and pharmaceutical development is a controversial subject. Those opposed to experimentation often cite the suffering of the animals, the existence of alternate testing methods, and the unproven benefits to human beings, as support for their reasoning, well those in favor of experimentation believe that the benefits to humanity cannot be gained any other way and substantially outweigh the harm done to the animals. In the article, “Why Animal…

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…
