inherent value, and the belief that they are entitled to the possession of their own lives. However, with the increase in demand for new cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the need for medical research, these rights have been violated by the act of animal testing. I will argue that animal testing shouldn’t be a method we adopt. In support of my claim, I will offer three reasons.

The first method I will be using is interviews. Interviews are a widely used method of research with children and it helps one obtain children’s own perspectives (Greig, Taylor, & MacKay, 2013, p.160).
