Animal testing

<span class='text_page_counter'>(1)</span>Should animals testing be banned? 1.From when you are a baby to when you are an adult animal testing is used in your everyday products. From the Pampers you put on as a baby and the Johnson and Johnson you are washed with. To when you are older, the Febreeze, Sunsilk, and Gillette you use (Companies That do Test on Animals). Animal testing surrounds you in every act of life. “The guess is around 100 million animals are used worldwide in animal testing” (Animal Rights). Animal testing is rooted from natural curiosity. How the insides of a living organism operate and look is an interesting idea. Because of the fact that dissection of humans was i8llegal by the Roman church, animals were the second best options for knowledge of living organisms (Animal Testing). The first experiments involving live animals were conducted in the third century BC (Animal Testing). Since then a large number of tests on animals have been conducted worldwide. The primary goal of researchers carrying out experiments on animals has always been to understand diseases and their treatment. In many countries throughout the world testing drugs on animals is illegal. In fact, medications and other substances like household chemicals will not reach the market unless they are tested and proved to be safe for consumers (ILAR). With there not being any alternatives, it being essential to medical research and animals are safe from harm; animal testing should never be banned. There have been remarkable achievements in cell biology during the past decade; however, these advancements are not enough to replace animals in scientific research. It is an open question whether data obtained from tests involving alternative techniques such as computer simulation can be valid. While it is true that such methods as computer models or growing cells or tissue from human cells can help, total rejection of animal experimentation is currently next to... 2.Throughout history, animal experimentation has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefits. However, what many people tend to forget are the great numbers of animal subjects that have suffered serious harm during the process of experimentation. Many people are believed to be ignorant or misunderstand the nature of the lives that animals actually live, and are unable to.

Other than the philosophical questions that arise, moral questions are the main reason why many animal right activists want it banned in every country. I feel that to this day, there should be no good reason why any living things should be subjected to this cruel punishment and unwanted torture just for serving another being’s needs. Animal testing should be banned under some circumstances; we can improve the situation by using alternative ways such as replacement, reduction, and refinement according to International Society from Applied Ethology. Such movements like gaining rights for the oppressed, expressions of antiwar opinions in the U.S.A, and the women’s liberation movement, accompanied the movement for the ending animal experimentation. The animal rights movement has grown more and more complicated through its use of strategy and has successfully brought the issue of laboratory research to the eyes of the public. All forms of media, magazines, radio, television, newspapers, have increased their exposure of animal right protests over the last several years while giving room for groups to produce their own publications. In these publications, activists constantly make the analogy between the work of abolitionists before the emancipation and the efforts of animal right activists. This analogy of racism and “speciesism” was brought about by a philosopher named Richard Ryder in 1985 and brings up the issue of research with animal subjects to be emotionally unpredictable..
