To begin, a company though they made an infection fighting cure, although they were wrong, it turns out it was poisonous to humans and killed a 100 people. If we were able to test the cure on something then. Even though this happened animal testing and gone on for thousands of years. During about 1678 - 1867 we learned how blood flows through the body. Also during 1867 England made a law stating that is was mandatory to have a license to conduct an experiment on animals) Animal testing is vital to medical research because ,the types of vaccines and infection fighting cures we made because of animal testing, therefore, it can be used to learn about other types of cancers and diseases.
Animal Testing Should Go On (One) To start off, we use laboratory animals that are alive to practice medicine on them and produce vaccines. Scientists found out about diabetes by removing the pancreas on dogs. Not to mention, animals have the same organs that can pump blood through the body and how our brains work. We experiment on animals since the animal’s body systems minic ours, their body systems and ours are related. We can try drugs or vaccines to see if they are safe for us humans to use or

In fact, drug testing on monkeys led to the discovery of the Polio vaccine. If we didn’t create the Polio vaccine then people would be dying to it each day. Additionally, it has been shown that humans and mice have a connection in our genes. We share 95% of our genes with mice. By using animal such as mice we have have been able to increase cancer survival rates. Furthermore, animal research has helped us develop vaccines against illnesses. Modern day vaccines that can help us with diseases include: Polio, TB Meningitis, and the HPV (the Human Papillomavirus) which is linked to cervical cancer. Clearly, animal testing has been crucial to the development of modern
