Dog Lab By Sinclaire Mccarthy Analysis

It is no secret that millions of animals a year are used for medical experimentation. One study “found the number of animals tested rose from 1,566,994 in 1997 to 2,705,772 in 2012” (Casey). It is my belief that researchers use virtue theory to defend their experimentations. While animal activists approach experimentation through the ethics of care. I am against animal experimentation, but I will also provide insight into why people believe it is ethically just.

Feelings are the most significant part of human’s creature, but what if it comes to the goal that your life is based on? would it still be that important? In the article, “Dog Lab”, Claire McCarthy discusses her own experiences as a medical student at Harvard school. McCarthy was born in 1963. She did her residency at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and she is now working as a pediatrician at the Martha Eliot Health Center in the Jamaica Plains. During college, she used to keep journal with her that provided the outline of her books which she referred to for her books such as Learning How the Heart Beats: The making of a Pediatrician and Everyone's Children : A Pediatrician's Story of an Inner City Practice. In addition to McCarthy being incredibly

Australian Film allows the rest of the world to have an insight into our way of life, our communities and our land. Australian film usually provides a hard-working and hardy stereotype who lives in the outback and takes pride in his mates, and for a lot of the country, this is mostly true. The typical Australian is a laid back, hard-working community member who prides the relationship they have with their mates, who may not even be a person. The saying ‘a man’s best friend is his dog’ is incredibly true for many, especially Australians, where dogs can be found in all walks of life. At least, this is Kriv Stender’s perspective of Australian identity, seen in his 2011 film Red Dog.

I believe dogs and books are both significant, especially in times of our sorrow. We have dogs who are loving and compassionate, and books which are best described to be our “ultimate escape.” To begin with, the author of the article, Christie Blatchford brings to our attention that humans can not solve all of our problems. “They mean to say the right thing, the comforting thing, but they say the wrong thing.” In my opinion, Blatchford’s perspective on human’s is true, as we are far from perfect. We don't always say the right things only because we haven't experienced scenarios our peers may have. However, when we have a friendly creature such as dogs, it's best they cannot talk, just comfort us by cuddling. This is what makes a dog is

People tend to have various eating habits, but why do people consider eating dogs different from eating other animal meats? An American novelist Jonathan Safran Foer in his article called “Let Them Eat Dogs” argues that people should eat dog meat if they eat pigs, cows, and chickens as they have same capacities, they are all good companions and eating dogs is not taboo everywhere. Even though the way he defends this point is quite reasonable, in this essay I will give reasons why this might not always be the case. This paper will focus on a cultural taboo aspect of Foer’s argument which states that people should eat dogs because eating dogs is not taboo everywhere and it does not harm people in any way. However, people do not necessarily have to eat dog meat since based on our cultural practices, eating dogs is not the same as eating other animal, even though Foer argues that.

Characters are a vital element of fiction; without them, a story falls apart because the readers are forced to only focus on its plot, setting, or other aspects of fiction. Characterization is the process in which the author describes the distinctive nature or features of a particular character. A character is often characterized by their own dialogue, actions, thoughts, appearance, and interpretation by the author or by other characters in the story. Through these methods, an author can really bring their characters to life for the reader. In “My Kid’s Dog,” Ron Hansen uses these methods to bring all his characters to life. He portrays the strained relationship an owner has with his ‘daughter’s’ pet dog, and the difficulties overcoming his hardships. Through methods of characterization, Hansen unveils the friction between the dad and the dog and allows the reader to empathize with them, incorporating humor throughout the story, as well.

To begin, the experimental use of animals in medical studies is unethical. These creatures are confined in isolated cages where they are deprived of necessary environmental elements. It is not uncommon that they undergo ghastly methods of experimentation; including the inhalation of toxic fumes, the burning of their skin, and the crushing of their spinal cords ("People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals"). This information sheds light on the grim realities of animal experimentation. These creatures are living, breathing beings that do not deserve to be treated as they are nothing more than lab objects. Not only are they ripped from their natural habitats, but are forced to endure an irreversible psychological trauma . To put it in perspective, imagine a six-month-old child being taken from their parents and sent to a lab to undergo scientific experiments that could ultimately result in

In the Red Dog and The Turning, the theme of loss is an issue used to shape meaning on the idea of change using specific language choices; the way in which the two themes are seen by the audience to convey the meaning of change. The two texts use the theme of loss to shape meaning of change. In red dog, the scene where john dies depicts a huge loss for the people around him, strengthening the theme of change portrayed to the audience. Vanno, Red Dog (2011) – “Noooo!”. We see that Vanno is obviously affected by the loss of john, after his motorcycle ran off the road, signifying a huge change to Vanno’s life, and the people around him, especially Nancy. “But the blitz truck was gone and the tractor, too.’’- The Turning (2004). Loss is depicted when Melanie leaves the beach campsite to go back to the farm with her family. The audience sees a change in Billy’s attitude, it changes the way he thinks, and impacts the rest of the story. The authors of the two texts use specific language to better portray the theme of loss. Not only in dialog, but visually. An example of this would be the death of red dog. The audience sees the effect of the passing of red dog, as they are all depressed and emotional. ‘’You’re home now boy’’-Nancy, Red Dog (2011), the audience sees the effect of losing Red Dog in Nancy’s voice, a specific language that Kriv Standers used to portray a more powerful meaning of change to the audience, using the theme of loss to strengthen this idea. This idea is further strengthened by the use of context, as Dampier is a small town with a tight community, the loss of a character will cause a huge change to the story, and we see this in Red Dog and The Turning.

Gerald Stern’s ‘The Dog,” gives an unique look into a dog’s mind after death. The

Charlie’s doctors acted like they knew what to do with Charlie.The gave Charlie the operation and over time he got smarter. The operation helped and Charlie got Smarter. The doctors gave Charlie tests to prove that he got smarter and it all worked in the end. Charlie’s doctors did act ethically when they gave Charlie the operation.

He’s shivering as the goop is rinsed off his fur. The creature looks around, just hoping for someone in this cold, empty, white room to save him. Soon the men in white lab coats crowd around the poor dog. They conclude the product gives chemical burns and the formula is discarded. “This is no way to treat an animal,” one of the scientists thinks. Many others believe animals should not be tested on as well. Animals, beings who have done no wrong, are not only ignorant of the things done to them, but the products tested on them aren’t even made for them; therefore, inmates and terrorists who are willing should be used as test subjects instead because they have done something wrong, so prisoners should be used as test subjects instead of animals.

In fact, it was discovered that this so called elimination meant shipping the students to a lab to be tested in a different way: as live specimens for horrid medical experiments. One person does not suffice to explain all of the treachery that this book had to offer. The best example, however, had to be the force behind the greatest defection of the story; the

Anton Chekhov’s The Lady with the Dog title seems to point to how the main characters first meet each other, though the capitalization of the words Lady and Dog might point that it has another meaning. The title then would not be about how Dmitri first knew Anna, but what their roles are at the beginning of the story. Dmitri was a dog, a beast, a man who seduces women and when he received what he wants leaves with just memories of the encounter and no remorse. While Anna is a lady, mannered, pure, and wholesome. The story follows the two and how their love for one another changes them, from a dog to a man.

She was experimenting with a few human medicines that might work for animals. Her goal was to make a medicine that would keep all animals from being dead. She mixed Advil ( medicine for the human to keep calm and decrease a cold) and Tylenol ( also a medicine to keep away cold but with a completely different formula) to make a mixture medicine that worked for animals. She experimented on a dog that was her’s. She injected the mixture

Every year, millions of animals suffer through painful and unnecessary tests. Animals in laboratories all over the world live lives of deprivation, pain, isolation, and torture. Even though vast studies show that animal experimentation often lacks validity, leading to harmful human reactions, we still continue to use this method of experimentation, while many other less-expensive and more beneficial alternatives exist. Going beyond the issue of animal experimentation being morally wrong, this form of research is also hindering medical progress. Although the use of animals in laboratories is said to be necessary for the welfare and health of humans, people mistakenly believe that this immoral and unscientific method of experimentation is
