Ethical treatment

understanding of human biology and further research in drug and vaccine development (Animal Justice 2015). Since the beginnings of medicine, animals are used as models in the medical field and has led to the existence of many types of cures and treatments to treat ailments that are available for humans’ usage now. Aristotle and Erasistratus are the early Greek physician scientists who carried out experiments on live animals (Hajar 2011). In UK, the use of animals in the medical field started with

Today, an estimated 26 million animals are used in testing every year in the United States. You might say there is no alternative, however, we have to remember that animals can suffer too. Animal testing has led to many life saving cures in humans, as well as animals. However, some tests can be cruel. Animals need to be free. They need to be outside, and they need to be in the habitat they were meant for. Scientists have the ability to clone skin cells, so why are we still wasting the lives of innocent

I researched Neuroscience. The study of the brain. In doing my research I learned that the United States government is putting more and more money into the study of Neuroscience because they want to find out how to stop dementia or Alzheimer’s or even to figure out if there are ways to prevent psychosis. Research has been happening on the brain since the early Renaissance era. “Anatomists declared with great authority that our perceptions, emotions, reasoning, and actions were all the result of "animal

Sarika Khanal Professor Richard Sutter ENG 122 30th October 2017 Annotated Bibliography on Animal Testing Ferdowsian,Hope R. and Nancy Beck. “Ethical and Scientific Considerations Regarding Animal Testing and Research.PIOS ONE, vol.6, no. 9, Sept. 2011, pp. 1-4. The authors emphasize in reduction, replacement and refinement of animal use in experiments, which is referred as “3 Rs” principles. These principles encouraged researchers to work to lessen the number of animals used in experiments to the

That being the case, animal testing should be banned. First of all, Animals rights are violated when they are used in research. A professor at North Carolina State University, Tom Regan said, “Animals have a basic and moral right to respectful treatment….. this value is not respected when animals are reduced to being tools in a science experiment.’’( qtd. in Orlans 26). Animals are lot like people; they both think, have feelings, behave, and experience pain. Because animals are like humans, they

It is shocking that researchers still use helpless animals to test new drugs and products, despite the fact that new medical advances can replace the need to do that. Defenseless animals are often taken away from their homes, and are often starved, shocked, or paralyzed with fear, just to test new products. After all of that, there often isn’t any medical benefits made to human society. Animal welfare acts were passed to limit what researchers can do to animals, but these acts are often not followed

Most people say “Animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments.” but in reality there is no evidence that shows that animal testing was an important part in making major medical advances. There are alternatives that exist now, like vitro testing which is studying cell cultures in petri dishes. People also say

“According to the ASPCA, an animal is abused every 10 seconds in this country (Rosenthal).” This alarming statistic takes into account the large number of cruelty cases reported daily. However, the alarming information many people see on the internet, television and in newspapers is only a small portion of the abuse case towards animals. Most animal suffering goes unrecognized and is not reported. The majority of animal abuse is due to neglect because people lack the knowledge of how to properly

Pain In Cattle Pain, a state no one wants to be in. The scientific definition by the International Association for the Study of Pain is referred as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” Do you know who has a hatred for pain just as much as people or possibly even more? Animals, currently in the world of veterinary medicine; pain has been a popular subject. Especially in the livestock industry and

How do you think all of the life saving medications were tested to see if they worked? The answer is animal testing. Animal testing is still necessary and should continue being used today. By using this method researchers are able to treat many diseases for not only humans but animals as well. To keep the process more humane, scientists follow strict guidelines for all the animals included in the Animal Welfare Act. Without  animal testing many diseases wouldn’t have been cured and people and animals
