Band 6+: Some people argue that all experimentation on animals is bad and should be outlawed. However, others believe that important scientific discoveries can be made from animal experiments. Can experimentation on animals be justified? Are there any alternatives? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

There has been a debate in which some believe all animation experimentations are daunting and they should be prohibited by law, while others think that animals should be used in some indispensible scientific inventions. This essay will not only discuss the experimentation on animals but also will mention methods to conduct experiments without harming animals, before drawing a conclusion.

On the one hand, opponents of animal testing might say all animal experimentation should be banned. In fact, animals also have their rights to live, and it can be said that testing on animals might harm the diversity of animal species. Therefore, there are some campaigns against animal testing, leading to prohibiting animal testing. However, on the other hand, there are some important medical research studies that have been done on animals, For example, production of Corona vaccine has not been successful without the use of animals in the research journey. Moreover, it is not acceptable to ban all animal experimentation, In fact, there are a number of examples of scientific discoveries in the field of medicine, such as vaccines of H1N1 and H5N1 viruses.

To justify the two views, it might not true to say all animal experimentation is detrimental, and should be outlawed. However, some animal testing which are not necessary to do animal testing should be banned and animals should be protected from being abused. There are a considerable number of alternatives to animal experiments, such as using Artificial Intelligent (AI) in the research process or Computer-Assisted experiments, which can imitate an authentic experiment in the computer system, without harming anyone, at a low cost. For instance, the University of Austin has done a research on DNA with the assistance of AI, resulting a descent interpretation a few years ago.

In conclusion, while some claim that animal testing should not be done and it is detrimental to animals, others insist that some vital experiments should be conducted on animals. In my opinion, experiments should be done on animals only when these experiments are of paramount importance for human beings, with minimum side effects on animals, considering other alternatives to animal research, such as AI.
