Animal Testing
Animal Testing plays a crucial role in the development of effective medical treatments and it helps scientists’ understanding of diseases. These days it becomes one of the controversial questions why scientists exploiting animals for humans benefit. I believe that involvement of animals in the laboratory experiments is immoral.
Animals are living beings as humans. Also, the best testing model to find a cure for a human is human itself. But, a human has a mind, moral concepts, and he has a reason to live. For instance, as human’s representative, let’s take me: I am a person, I am a student, I am a daughter for my mom, I am a sister for my sibling, and may be a mother in future for little children.

Even the experiments on animals saved several lives of a human being, so it doesn’t mean that we should sacrifice an animal. According to

However, medical researchers study animals to gain a practical knowledge about how the new inventions in medicine influence to our(both, human’s and animal’s) body, because, it has been proven that human beings and many animals have the similarities in organ systems and body processes. One of the valuable laboratory findings is the treatment of cancer, and heart diseases. So, it seems like it is not reasonable to prevent experimentations. Nevertheless, PETA organization find out lend to support to the claim that humans and animals are not comparable, so the results of animal experiments are meaningless, because it turns that even both of them have similar cancer type in brain, but the process of development of the disease and the reaction for the drugs is not the same. As PETA reports, drugs experiment on mice helps only them, not for
