“Experimentation on animals” has become an integral part of rising debate in the present world. While proponents of the argument are in favor, the opponents are completely against the relevance of all experimentation on animals. In my opinion, experimentation on animals for scientific discoveries has more positive impacts than negative around the globe.
To commence with, there are number of arguments in favor of my belief. The most prominent one is that experimentation on animals played a vital role in research and formulation of many important medicines. According to research conducted by Western Sydney University, a large number of medicines had been tested on animals before human beings. Secondly, animals especially monkeys shows identical genes as compared to other species. According to a study conducted by the University of Oxford, the majority of experiments conducted on monkeys are successful in scientific discoveries.
On the other hand, critics may point out that one of the most significant disadvantages of experimentation on animals is that it is brutal and painful for animals. For instance, a survey conducted in the USA reveals that, some variants of monkeys are getting rare because of these experiments. They are also researching alternatives to replace animals used in experiments.
To conclude, even when there are numerous demerits associated with the experimentation on animals, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and experimentation on animals has become a crucial part of our lives. Therefore, efficient use of experimentation on animals for scientific discoveries should be promoted. However, its misuse should be condemned.
