Recommended: The negative effects of animal testing

If the scientist is experimenting on animals, and what he is doing doesn’t really have a purpose then we shouldn’t allow the scientist to keep experimenting if he is not trying to cure a bad disease or doing something that will benefit more people besides him. All he is doing is just hurting animals for his own good, because his experiment isn’t really any good for anyone else but he for the reason that he only wants to find out if he could make the perfect human. Dr. Moreau is the perfect example on why we should have a limits on science and on how far we take it, and why there should be a good reason behind why you're doing the science you're doing. Dr. Moreau took his science way too far, he didn’t care about hurting anyone or anything. “The crying sounded even louder out of doors. It was as if all the pain in the world had found a voice.”(26). In this part of the book it just shows that he doesn’t really care if others suffer as long as he accomplishes what he wants. …show more content…

For example usually scientist do experiments to solve a problem, like cancer or bad disease but he is doing it because he wants to see if he can make the perfect human. “Each time I dip a living creature into the bath of burning pain, I say: this time I will burn out all the animal, this time I will make a rational creature of my own.” (59) This just shows how he is not trying to figure something else that will benefit other people but he is doing it so he can make a creature of his own. He shouldn't be putting animals through this if we don’t have to, this is where science has gone too far, there is nothing that is great coming out of this experiment so it's not like he has to do it. The type of pain he puts them through is not fair, because the animals don’t have an option if they could do this or not do this they’re just forced to do

There are over 100 million animals harmed in US research labs every year. Ninety- two percent of the tests conducted on animals do not actually work when used on people (animal testing). Why use animals at all when researchers can just use humans...incarsaterated humans. In the book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” researchers used HeLa cells on men in prison to test the effects of the cells in the human body. Chester Southam put an ad in the Ohio State Penitentiary newsletter for twenty-five volunteers for HeLa cells research.

“A Question of Ethics” by Jane Goodall and “Animal Research Saves Lives” by Heloisa Sabin presents two sides of the same coin in regards to Animal testing. Thereby, questioning the validity or necessity of animal research and testing today. In “A Question of Ethics” by Goodall she presents a scenery of the living conditions of the animals which are often isolated; posing the ultimate questions of, whether animal research is essential to medical research? Or How many tests are performed only to conform to laws and not out of scientific merit? The Suggestion was made that scientists should explore alternative options, such as testing on cell and tissue cultures.

This research is unfair and animals in this test don’t understand anything that is going to happen to them. Furthermore, animals “suffer painful procedures and isolations”(Source A) that really impacts the way scientists are saving human lives. However if we don’t stop animal testing, we could save lives but we won’t be helping the innocent animals the could be endangered and-and almost instinct. There are also alternatives that scientist could use to see if the product they have created could impact human lives. I think that if scientist test one cell organisms they could find the result of the experiment and see what could impact the entire body of a human or an

However, by doing so, this can decrease and possibly eliminate animal experimenting all together. This conflict can potentially setback the advancement of medicine, but it does reach a consensus for both sides of deciding whether animal experimentation is beneficial or not. Both sides win in this case and civilization can benefit from it as

He witnesses many casualties, and sufferings. He felt that everyone abandoned him. The things that he went through was horrific, but through it all he survived. He wants to let the whole world know the horrific horrors that he survived, and to ensure that everyone knows the purpose of his speech, that indifference causes confusion and destruction.

Given that there are several alternatives at present, there is no logical reason for humans to violate animal rights in laboratory experiments. The use of traditional animal testing today shows an irrational, unjust, cruel act of human selfishness. Although I acknowledge most of Regan’s claims, I do not agree with his statement “…if that means that there are some things we cannot learn, then so be it. There are also some things we cannot learn by using humans, if we respect their rights”.

In “Animal Testing is Bad Science” states that “The Federal Drug Administration has noted that 92 percent of all drugs that are shown to be safe and effective in animal test fail in human trials because they don’t work or are dangerous.” This shows that doing experiments on animals are unreliable and do not always have the same effect on humans. In addition, animal experimentation is unethical and unreliable and it puts the animals in

Although the experimentation of animals has furthered medical knowledge, it should not be allowed because it is brutal and animals are unable to give their approval. In order to do a study on humans it must be authorized by them, where animals are unable to give consent, which strikes questions in the world of science on whether this is morally acceptable. Although animal experimentation can result in saving the lives of millions, many find it to be cruel and unjust. Seeing as animals are unable to speak for themselves, they are still able to express their emotions through their behavior.

Specific Purpose: By the end of my speech, the audience will know about the problem of conducting experiments on animals and the ethical issue of the cruel treatment of animals by the researchers. While the problem of conducting experiments on animals draws attention of the society, the speech would present the limitation of animal experiments and outline the alternatives. Central Idea: 1. Conducting experiments on animals has become one of crucial ethical issues of the modern society and it has even been banned in some countries.

Should animals be suffering just because humans are trying to advance our medical techniques? Should they be forced to eat? Should people be allowed to torture them this way? Do you think so? In fact, more than 100 million animals are killed each year during scientific and commercial testing, in the U.S alone.

Imagine an enraged animal rights activist charging toward a scientist in a white lab coat, desperate to free the little mice that are being used as test subjects. Although comical, this scene may be quite accurate when describing the passion that animal lovers have when it comes to the touchy subject of animal testing. For centuries, animal testing has been used in the medical research field, however many are now beginning to question whether it is ethical. Millions of animals are killed per year due to animal testing, so is this practice worth banning? Animal testing is a controversial subject, with supporters pointing out the medical advances that have stemmed from animal research and animal rights activists declaring it cruel and immoral.

Research funding itself is allocated to safely established procedures and not considering the well-being of research animals is a way of cutting costs and maximizing profit, since alternative methods will require further investment and decreasing cruelty will require additional resources and techniques. This shifts the maximization of good that we normally expect of science and especially medical science (where the use of lab animals is especially prevalent) to a maximization of profit for the companies backing the research. Consideration of the good for the living research tools is among the first things to be
