Testing on Animals.
Nowadays more and more people start concerning about testing on animals. Is it necessary? Is it painful for animas? Why the modern medicine can't do without testing on animals? All these questions made people divide into two groups. First group thinks that we have to stop testing on animals, second one is sure that the medicine won't be able to develop.
The main advantage of animal testing is that animal testing helps to lessen the risk of an unplanned event which can happen when humans use or ingest the products that are part of the animal testing experiment. Drugs can be really harmful for people, especially during the testing period, so animal testing allows for scientists to know the quality and safety of a product before humans take it.
The next pro for animal testing is that it helps researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more.
Moreover, there is no other alternatives of testing products because some animals are almost carbon copies of people. The reason why mice are frequently used in animal research is that their genetic profile is 98% similar to humans. Chimpanzees were popular to use in the past, and still are in some areas of the world, because their genetic profile is 99% similar to a human.
However animal testing has many disadvantages. It already was mentioned that people and animals are similar. But they never exactly the same because the reaction of an animal can be completely different from human's one. This argument further weakens necessity of animal testing.
One of the strongest arguments against animal testing is countless deaths of animals. They killed after finishing experiments. Others are injured and will still live with an injury the rest of their lives. Also some tested drugs, may never be used for anything. I think it's nothing but cruel and useless.
All in all, I want to say that it's vital to improve modern medicine. But people have to know that animal's lives are important too. And they have to be treated better, also we should concern that all experiments will really help people.
Hello Nuriza,
ОтветитьУдалитьIt is devoted to the discussion of a very important issue, and I think people in our country should become better aware of this issue.
