100 million animals are killed in United States laboratories for drug, chemical, food and, cosmetics testing. Over a hundred daily use products get tested on animal’s daily. Animal testing is for all sorts of animal’s such as rabbits, mice, dogs, cats and, monkeys etc. Scientists are trying to find a way to put animal drug testing to an end. They have made a humane-on-a-chip. Pros and Cons for animal testing, example con for animal testing would be killing millions of animals each year and that is a horrible thing for those innocent animals. Humans and animals do share a lot of genes, but they function in a different way.

Here are some of the viable alternatives besides the human on the chip. The In-Vitro was created by National Academy of Sciences in 2007. They test the product or chemical in a glass test tube to study to see how the cell or tissue culture works. Human Brain Imaging is brain scanning or imaging techniques is now possible to conduct useable data and statistics is more useful than the questionable data collected from cutting into the brains of monkeys, cats and rats. Human blood testing instead of killing hundreds of thousand rabbit’s each year in the “pyrogen” test. The pyrogen test is when the put a substance in a rabbit’s body to make the rabbit have a fever and they see what drug will help it go down. Scientist can now study fever-causing contaminants in medicines by using human blood samples. Microdosing is given to a test patients of a drug which is within safe limits, advanced imaging techniques can be used to detect the way the body breaks down the
