Benefits of Animal Experimentation
Are we to let concern for the 'rights' of pests cost human lives? The answer is a simple one-no. Animal research, although often the subject of debate is a positive thing. Without it, where would the world be? Tests certainly cannot be done on humans, for what human will risk his or her life if there is a more convenient and sensible option. Yes the animals endure pain and, at times, lose their lives but new advances are being made in that field as well. Studies are always being done to ensure the maximum safety and comfort for these subjects.Animal Testing-Good for Mankind or Violation of Rights? Animal testing-is it inapplicable? Many researchers shout yes; results received from small animals and rodents do not apply to humans. If this is so, then why have so many advances been made since the dawning
Today, several major medical research successes have used lab rodents. For example, researchers at Washington University have recently discovered that "genetically altered mice lacking an immune-system enzyme didn't develop emphysema even after exposure (Berardelli, p.1)." If cures are to be found, animal testing is necessary. In addition to discovering microorganisms, animal experimentation has led to significant medical findings related Animals also benefit from the research such as discovering treatments for rabies and distemper (Chang, p.2). The main argument of animal research opponents is that animal tests are inapplicable. "Animals and humans biologically differ from each other. So results from animal experiments can't be applied directly to humans (Chang, p.2)." Other arguments include: Possibly the first vaccine ever developed was o
