against animal testing. Why should those who are defenseless, have no say on their future? As technology advances, alternative methods of testing have come to the surface, but are ignored by those who believe that the results may not come as accurate.

If they were able to use alternative testing methods then why shouldn’t the U.S.? An estimated 26 million animals are used

     Progress in the pharmacological, medical and biological sciences involves experimentation on all living species, including animals and humans. The effectiveness of medications investigative procedures and treatments must at some point be tested on animals and human beings. Although tests are conducted much more frequently on lab animals, especially those most related to humans, they do not provide sufficient information.      The history of medicine shows

moral or ethical principles that are geared towards minimizing the affliction or cruelty of animals.

Factory Farming, It Needs to Change! Factory farming is the process of “employing abusive practices that maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of the environment, our communities, animal welfare, and even our health” (Factory Farming).

The essay of Gary Steiner, “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable,” advises that a vegan lifestyle is an ethical lifestyle. He is a strict vegan which means no meat, cheese, eggs, or anything that contains animal products and byproducts.

Ignorance v. Intelligence: Animal Experimentation and Life Saving Medical Technology The use of non-human animals in experiments in order to gain a further understanding of the functions of biological systems is known as animal experimentation. Medicine as it is known today would not exist without animal experimentation, also referred to as animal testing, animal research, and/or biomedical testing. Albert Sabin, who developed the Polio vaccine said, “Without animal research, polio would still be

Many ethical questions have evolved because of Mrs. Lacks’ case. Should the family receive compensation for their matriarch’s involuntary contributions to science and medicine? Who would be responsible for the compensation? Should Johns Hopkins Hospital be responsible for harvesting her tissue without her consent? The debate to these questions and many more will continue as discussion for a very long time, possibly forever. Ethical Responsibility AstraZeneca sets

Animal lab experiments have long been a controversial issue especially among animal rights activists. There has always been a conflict between scientists relying on animal laboratory research for medical advancement, and animal rights activists that are against the abuse of animals within these research facilities.
