Ethics of Animal Testing

Animal testing dates back to the Greeks and Romans. Philosophers like Aristotle would dissect live animals to study the systems of the body. Backs then animals were thought to be lesser then humans because they could not communicate and they were thought to have a simpler brain function then human. So no one cared about the animals being harmed. The ethics of animal testing are said not to have been questionable until someone’s cow was stolen in order perform experiment on. Today animal testing is

better ways to ensure product safety. Body shop for an example is a franchise in against animal testing for cosmetic, uses natural ingredients which are both animal and human-friendly which needs no animals to test on. According to the body shop, "animal testing is cruel, irrelevant and unnecessary" (animal testing and cosmetic 1988) Animal testing questions humanity, morality, and ethics. the extent to which animal suffers are evident with The two most commonly used toxicity test known as the irritancy

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. Virtue theory is more of a selfish ethics since one’s growth

succeed in many areas, but has also damaged the basic ethics and morals in some of us. Today on television, we see the over dramatized body spray commercials or a famous celebrity advertising their favorite shampoo and stating its claims, but what most do not know is that a couple or couple hundred, animals were killed to approve, by law, of that product. This act is called animal testing, which is the method or experiment that forces an animal to go through any harm or distress (Thew). I do not agree

Animal testing is the use of animals in research experiments. The research is usually conducted inside universities, pharmaceutical companies, and commercial facilities. It includes research over genetics, behavioral studies, drugs, toxicology, and cosmetics. Those who are against animal testing state that even though humans benefit from animal testing it does not equalize the harm that the animals endure. On the other hand though, the people who support animal testing believe that the experiments

Mrs. ------ English 11 11 June 2017 Animal Testing Animal testing dates back all the way to Greek physician scientists like Aristotle and Erasistratus. Greek scientist conducted experiments to understand the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology just like our scientists do today. The moral ethics of animal testing has always been questioned, but many cures and treatments have been found due to animal testing discoveries. Animal testing is necessary for humankind 's overall well

From the early beginnings of civilizations, humans have had a symbiont relationship with animals. Animals have allowed humans to make great progression through history, from early farming methods, to transportation, even scientific research. Recently the ethics of the use of animals in scientific research and clinical testing have been a subject of a controversial debate. Animals have been used in scientific research as early as 500 BC (Miziara et al. 2012). One of the most impactful innovations

For decades, the question of ethics in using humans and animals for research has been a constant battle in the fields of science, medicine, and even cosmetics. According to the Animal Welfare Association, approximately 19,500,000 animals - including mice, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and frogs - are killed yearly on average due to research. Although more than 50% of adults in the United States are opposed to animal testing, many popular companies like Maybelline, Vaseline, Dove, and Windex choose to

numerous animals to sustain their life and to keep their species. They used animals to hunt other animals or they use them to protect themselves. Sometimes they eat the hunting animals if they fail to hunt other animal. They also used animals to acquire knowledge. They learned biology through dissect animals and they also learned pharmacology through test medicines on animals. However present day, people start to ask question about ethics of animal testing. Some groups of people say that animal testing
