Psychological testing

animals go through every day. Animal testing is inhumane and immoral and often leaves permanent or semi-permanent damage. Because of the lack of laws protecting lab animals, they are…

Animal Testing; Finding Alternative Approaches Animal testing began during the Roman Era Dissection and Vivisection, which is the dissection of live animals. The idea of animal testing was gone by the Middle Ages, but returned by the Renaissance. William Harvey had relied almost completely on the knowledge that came from animal testing during the seventeenth-century. Marc R. Fellenz, the author of “Animal Experimentation,” states “In the early twenty-first century, virtually all medical…

die every year from lab testing, including larger animals like dogs and cats, along with smaller rodents. With animal testing on the rise, it is called out for being an unethical form of science. There are scientists and pro animal rights activists constantly on the search to reduce the number of animals involved in animal testing. They are trying to find alternatives to help layout a better blueprint for the science world. For instance, there are different types of lab testing that are used in…

saliva produced from the dog. This would have caused discomfort and physical harm to the dogs • The dogs were held down and strapped/tied, so they couldn’t withdraw at any point • Pavlov kept the dogs in the lab for long periods of time causing psychological…

regards the issue of animal testing, that is, the use of animals in research projects that are meant to benefit humans. It is a practice that has gone on for long, but one that has gained traction recently. It is estimated that about a hundred million animals are subjected to testing every year (Gilbert, Kaebnick and Murray). However, as it gains foothold, so does…

The Ethics on the Morality of Animal Research In this paper I will discuss the wrongness of animal testing based on the falsification of the biological account of moral status. All sentient creatures, no matter what their biology, matter morally. Animals used in research labs for testing are sentient, therefore they have moral status. In Cohen’s paper, he describes the testing of animals for human benefit to be morally permissible because they do not have human membership (Cohen, p. 94) However…

Animals vs Research Many believe that animals should be used for testing because it helps humans get more information about many diseases and conditions many humans are in. Is animal testing really worth all the pain that the animals have to go through for humanities benefit. Is animal pain and suffering truly different than a humans? Animal life is just like humans, we both breathe oxygen, we both love excitement, and we both can love unconditionally. As the saying goes, “A dog is a mans…

suggest that animals may be useful for further understanding the biology of human beings when he created his Theory of Evolution in the 1800s. This theory eventually led to Louis Pasteur testing on a sheep in the late 19th century which was the first major test to be conducted on an animal (Murnaghan, Ian Animal Testing Timeline). Pasteur administered an anthrax vaccine to the sheep to test his germ theory, which showed the importance of vaccines to combat bacteria within humans. This test led…

(Thomas 90). So it is decided, testing on people is immoral whereas testing on animals is moral. Determining related value is a subjective, entirely unscientific exercise, never because the criterion one chooses will almost certain decide the effect. Cruel using of other species is advocated on a relative value base, the rationally, so must cruel using within our species. Nazis tested on Jews because they noticed them as being of less value; those conducting out syphilis testing on black men in…

the well-conditioned psychological damage, keeping her in constant fear of humans. Once identified only by a number, she now has a home and a name. Libby, was one of the 250 dogs and cats that were rescued last year from the Professional Laboratory and Research Services, Inc. after it was shut down (Sherrow). A pharmaceutical company was paying the laboratory to infest dogs and cats with ticks, worms, and fleas, then force-feed the animals…
