The Argument Against Human Experimentation

Meanwhile there is some strong cons: The bad treatment animals suffer some through experiments is really horrible like being deprived or

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” (Mahatma Gandhi). Scientists have been using animals for biomedical research for centuries. They provide a source to get information scientists can not get without harming humans. A lot of debate is spread about whether it is good or bad. Animal experimentation is a controversial topic because it is helpful to humans, but it is also cruel and inhumane.

Many people are unaware of the vile human experiments the United States government has condoned. Innocent men and women, became victims of these experiments without their consent or knowledge. These people were soldiers, husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers, who were maltreated and even murdered. It is vital for not only citizens of the United States of America to be aware of how their government tortured its own citizens, but also people around the world from every country there is. Being aware and educated about the revolting history of any country can prevent the unethical governmental practices from ever occurring again. There are various human experiments dating back to the 1930’s that the US government conducted which led to the demise of innocent people, caused some of the specimens involved to become mentally impaired, and when the government 's nefarious acts became exposed higher authorities apologized.

I am on the affirmative side and I think that Human experimentation is important because scientists and doctors can find new and more effective treatments for diseases. Human experimentation is when human beings are used as test subjects to research scientific and medical resources. Scientists can start with hypotheses and test them on animals,but without human testing they will never know if the end results will actually make real human patients feel better. Experiments on people have contributed in great measure to medical progress; infant mortality has decreased by more than 75%,and many human diseases that were once fatal or widespread have become curable or have disappeared. Human experimentation is important for the good of all people.

Every day, there are scientist/ researchers conducting experiments, or studies, in order to try and prove facts about everyday life. In conducting these experiments, there are the normal, ethical experiments that have continuously gone to prove many different facts that most of us might have not even noticed about ourselves or one another, and then there are the few experiments that are deemed to be unethical and, although still have shown and proved to us different facts about ourselves, really can not be replicated once again because of the amount of controversy caused by them. The experiments and studies such as the Stanley Milgram Obedience experiment, the Stanford Prison and Guards experiment, the Bystander Effect, the David Reimer

I understand that your position of allowing animal experimentation to continue is for the better of our own health. The benefits that come from animal experimentation are not so obvious but very important. It is to believe how much these animals have contributed to the finding of many life saving treatments. Some of these important treatments are: asthma inhalers, meningitis vaccines, leukemia treatments, and organ transplants. (Understandinganimalresearch.org.uk) While not resulting in a cure, animal experimentation has helped HIV

I believe that human experimentation is wrong because people could die from this. We can't test on living beings because they can die if things go atrocious. All of these cause that can make people suffer, that's why they shouldn't be experimented on. Doctors may be helping people but when they are testing it, people were hurt.

Human experimentations have been performed many times by scientist in order to solve medical mysteries in the past. These experimentations can link back to the early 1700s when George I offered free pardon to any inmate who was willing to be injected with smallpox (Wellness Directory of Minnesota). Human experimentation has always been a hot topic as it has been argued that it is both necessary and also morally wrong since it can both hurt and help and individual. People have argued that there is no other subject to be experimented on as there aren’t many other animals or subjects which share the same anatomy as humans. It can also be argued that some of the treatments performed on these individuals can potentially cause the deaths of the person

I am with the opposition side, so I am against human experimentation. Our research shows that human experimentation is indeed very bad. People have been injured, it has caused death, and it has led to lifelong damage.

Human experimentation has gone on for years. People have often gotten medicines and other great medical advances but they are not ethical. Imagine being forced to test how radiation affects humans or try untested medicines than may as well kill you, in hopes that you'll live to get the cash reward, or even be an uninformed hospital patient being used to test a particular disease with no cure. There was nothing ethical about the torture some of these innocent people have endured, yet the people thought they were for the greater good of “science.” Kids were told that they were bad at speech and things like that in order to prove a point,”in the name of science.” Again, there is nothing ethical about these procedures, and there are so many reasons,

I am Marina Isabel Carpenter, I will be representing the opposition side in the following debate. I feel that human experimentation is wrong, but I know vaccines can help with some illness.

I am on the affirmative side of this debate, and I believe that human experimentation is right. Human experimentation can help a lot more people than it hurts. Also, if scientists do not test vaccines (and other medicines) on humans, they will never know if that vaccine is a cure for something.

In addition to the fact that animal experimentation is ineffective, unreliable, and costly, testing on animals also violates animal rights. Do we think that just because we are superior to animals that we have the right to subject these innocent creatures to cruel and painful experiments? The superiority humans feel over animals may be the reason why humans feel less troubled by inflicting pain on animals. Or perhaps humans justify this cruel act by saying that animals would not be used in experiments if their use was not absolutely necessary. The pain and misery these animals are put through is absolutely unjustified, especially since the experiments they are subject to are proven to be unnecessary and even pointless. As Ingrid Newkirk states, animals in the laboratories are "under constant stress from fear, the loss of control over their lives, and the denial of all

Animal experimentation by scientists can be cruel and unjust, but at the same time it can provide long term benefits for humanity. Animals used in research and experiments have been going on for 2,000 years and keep is going strong. It is a widely debated about topic all over the world. Some say it is inhuman while others say it’s for the good of human kind. There are many different reasons why people perform experiments and why others total disagree with it.

Whether animal experimentation is justified or not has been undecided for many decades. Many years back, the debate was carried out by animal rights groups which were led by the Cambridge University to get rid of its plan for a primate research in 2004. Since this debate, many supporters have become more confident in speaking out what they believe and getting their points across to people.
