Comparison of Differnt Animal Experimentation Methods
In the world of animal experimentation, there are two very different sides. One example is the experiments and research conducted to improve the way humans live from a medical aspect. The other side is taken from invasive and redundant experiments that are done to test new cosmetic, personal, and household products. In regards to medicinal testing, there are very positive connotations, which allow us to realize that these tests are being done to help save the lives of those in need. In the long run it is evident that these tests are worth more than the animals that have to die in the process. On the other hand, testing done to improve eyeshadows, soaps, and furniture polish seem to be far less significant. Due to countless differences in the anatomy, physiology, genetics and cell makeup of animals and human beings, there is no foolproof plan that can be used to guarantee
that research done will produce positive results. With this in mind, using animals in medical tests has also proved to have some benefits. For example in 1961, almost thirty years after beginning his research, Albert Sabin introduced his oral vaccine for polio. Mr. Sabin had said, " There could have been no oral polio vaccine without the use of innumerable animals, a very large number of animals." To this day, as new vaccines for the disease are produced for today's youth, the use of animals continues. Between both medical and commercial research and experiments done on animals, there is close to 5 billion dollars spent annually. The funds are for the most part split evenly between both sides. After knowing the focus involved in both types of research, spending the same amount of money for household and cosmetic testing that is spent on finding cures for human diseas
