Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products. Some people argue that these experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer, while others are favor of them because of their benefits to humanity.
Every day, thousands of people are saved from painful diseases and death because of the powerful medical drugs and treatments which would not be possible without animal testing. Scientists practice new techniques such as organ transplant on animals. If they don’t test on animals, many products or drugs will be extremely unsafe. Moreover, many lifesaving drugs were invented in this way and may help to find more cure in the future. Consequently, there would not be any more death as well as fear of the Cancer and AIDS.
However, animal experiments are unkind behavior and it cause animals a lot of pain. Many tests are not really important such as cosmetics, shampoos, soaps and other cleaning products. Furthermore, sometime an experiment on animal gives us the wrong result because animals are not exactly the same as human being. As a result, this testing may not be providing the safety products. Moreover, it is not needs to be tested on animals, especially with the huge database of knowledge and modern computer models.
In conclusion, there is no better way of alternative on animal experiment. Human being is always more important than animals. However, it is need to make sure that the millions of animals who are used for testing new products are treated with the minimum suffering. Furthermore, testing should not be used for non- essential products.
