Animal Testing is No Longer Required Animal testing is an old fashioned way of testing medications and products to ensure that they are safe for humans. It is a way to further our society, without inflicting any harm to our race, but in today's society, it is no longer a required option for testing. For one, it is very cruel to animals. We should not be self involved and only think about ourselves. The world cannot survive that way. We need animals in the world, and if we continue treating them
against Animal Testing Abraham Lincoln once said, “I am in favour of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.” I couldn’t agree more with this statement as I do not believe that animal testing is right and I am totally against it. One of the main reasons I am against animal testing is the fact that the animals don’t have a choice and are being forced to be tested, which can lead to them getting seriously ill or dying as a cause of the testing. Each year
For centuries humans have dedicated their time and research to animal experimentation. A large number of these animals are being utilized and taken from their homes involuntarily. They are abused, mishandled and harmed for our own benefit to create products such as cosmetic supplies, vaccines, and medication. Without a doubt, these animals are in pain. They whimper out of fear and struggle to survive in the conditions they are forced to undergo. Many of them are even put into isolation and sedated
115 million animals that are tested on every year in the U.S. Behind those cute puppy eyes may be a whole world of pain. Animal testing can be using anything on animals from lipstick to medicine to dangerous chemicals. Testing has been going on as early as 1832 (according to this picture on animal-testing.procon.org of a dog geting cut into for research.) and has been continuing for years. Animals are getting tossed into testing, unaware of what is happening to them without choice. Testing may not even
Animal research in psychology is a controversial issue that has raised many questions on whether it should be allowed Is it human or inhuman? Peter Singer, a bioethicist, views animal research as a form of discrimination and for the most part useless in findings. Singer believes that animals and humans are not very different from each other; hence, asking why not test on humans too if it is okay on animals? On the other hand, R.G. Frey, a professor of philosophy, argues that animal research should
Animals used in laboratories dates as far back as the 17th century (Unknown, 2015)6. When I first read this statistic, it was surprising because the amount of time testing has been around really makes one think about the advancements made because of that. Due to the amount of time animal testing has been around, two general groups have formed in response to this. The people advocating for it are commonly part of the science community or anyone that supports what science hopes to accomplish and then
we should not be allowed to continue animal testing. I will provide examples of three different of the four Ethic theories we have learned which include Feminism (ethics of care), Utilitarianism, and Deontology. My main focuses include animal testing dealing with Medicine, and animal testing in cosmetics. I believe animal testing is bad, because as time goes by we have come up with and developed many different alternatives to animal testing. These new technologies are far superior to animal testing
medical testing on animals. Though, those websites and photos you see every day are not what testing on animals is really like. According to an article from Patricia George and Geraldine Wagner, over the last century and a half, more progress has been made in medical animal testing than in all previous years combined. Animals have actually benefited from the medications they were being tested on and although animal testing helps animals, it also helps humans in the process (2). Animal testing has
An estimated fifty to one hundred million animals are experimented on each year not knowing what will happen to them. Smaller animals such as mice, flies, as well as worms are euthanized after the experiment no matter the outcome, so even if the experiment works, the animals are still killed (ProCon.org). It should be illegal for animals to be experimented on in schools as well as in labs. These experiments can keep humans safe, however some animals such as mice and rats don’t have enough biological
Testing on animals has been a thing for so many years now. In fact, many scientists believe it should be done before human testing. But with it being around for so long, it has become a subject of controversy. People around the world share their views and opinions about whether it's really necessary, and some even question if the process is even ethical. While it is sad that animals have to come to terrible fates,the process of animal testing is absolutely essential to test the safety of products
