Should Animals be used for Scientific Testing?
Thesis Statement
What are different alternative ways to use instead of Animal testing?
One way:Vitro testing like "organ on a chip" that contain human cells to show the function of human organs and organ systems
Human Patient Simulators that are high tech simulators that mimic human reactions and illnesses is an alternative
three countries -U.S. , Canada and India have replaced the use of animal labs with simulators as well as virtual reality systems, computer simulators etc.
Animals shouldn't be used for scientific testing because it is cruel and there are already other smarter more efficient ways to use instead
Hook
Did u know that more than 100 million animals each year undergo scientific testing
"Mice are mice and people are people if we look to the mouse to every aspect of the disease for man and to model cures we're wasting time".-Dr.Clif Barry
Have you ever asked "what do they use to test drugs"?
History and Background
History:Scientific testing goes all the way back to the writings of the Ancient Greeks in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE
Aristotle (384–322 BCE) and Erasistratus (304–258 BCE) did testing/experiments on live animals
Aristotle believed that animals lacked wisdom, and so justice and injustice did not apply to them
dissection was practiced on human criminals in ancient Rome and Alexandria, but laws against disfigurement of the human body in ancient Greece led to relying on animal subjects
an Arabian physician in the twelfth century in Moorish Spain, introduced animal as an experimental method for testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients.
But in recent years, the practice of using animals for research has undertaken strong criticism from animal protection and animal rights groups. Laws have been passed in several countries to make the practice more ‘humane’
Specialized Info
Animal testing is used for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.
People are coming up with more modern state of the art ways to use instead of animal experimentation
Research and experimenting in cows helped create the world's first vaccine, which ended smallpox. Studies with monkeys, dogs, and mice led to the polio vaccine
more than 100 million animals are killed due to being used for scientific testing
top 5 animal testing countries in the world are China (20.5 million) Japan (15.0 million), the United States (15.6 million), Canada (3.6 million), Australia (3.2 million),
Argument #1
As said in the thesis statement and specialized info there ARE alternative , smarter more humane ways to use instead of animal experimenting
Argument#1
Scientific Testing on Animals shouldn't be allowed because it violates animal's rights the animals can'e even have a thought of well being in their lives
Argument #3
In the cosmetic industry more than one third of females buy cosmetics from cruelty-free brands
The market for cruelty-free cosmetics has an estimation to reach $10 billion by 2024
37 countries have banned the selling of cosmetics with ingredients used on animal experimentation
Argument #2 -Cons of Animal Testing
Animal Testing is a waste of time money and other human resources its so meaningless that up to half of them are not even published
The National Institutes of Health have reported that 95 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in human so it doesn't even make sense to do animal tetsing.
It is also just unethical and wrong animals do have feelings and they also think so we shouldn't start badly using them to our own advantage
Most of Animal Experimentation are flawed therefore wasting the lives of the animals used
