Several individuals believe that the use of animals for testing medical and cosmetic products should be restricted, while others argue that this is the only way to ensure human safety. Although protecting people is important, I believe that animals should not be used for such purposes.
Some people argue that animal testing is cruel and unethical. They believe that animals also have rights and with that, animals should not suffer for human benefit. For instance, while medicine and cosmetics testing often is the reason of getting unnecessary harm for animals, laboratories can choose another alternative method, such as computer modelling.
On the other hand, others consider that animal testing is vital for medical research. It helps scientists upgrade cosmetic and medical products before producing a big quantity of those and selling in shops. Moreover, researching in that type of laboratories’ conditions will help to minimize risk of unexpected side effects or allergic reactions in humans. A clear example is vaccines, which were first tested on animals to check their safety before being used on people.
I believe that experiences with animals should be strictly forbidden on the government level, as the animals have not only the rights, but the feelings as well. After all, they are living beings, and they experience pain and discomfort no less than individuals.
In conclusion, despite the fact, that some bodies are sure that experiments with animal for medical and cosmetic reasons ought to be prohibited, others claim that will help to be sure about own safety.
