Millions of Animals are used each year for research and for dissections. Animals are mistreated and many die, sometimes the research itself is fatal and animals die. Should animals be used in laboratory experiments? Should experiments be done if they cause the animals to suffer?
Due to those experiments we don't need to suffer pain without pain killers - and the same goes for the pets we take to the vet. So, the matter is quite ambiguous, particularly because, on the other hand, a large number of animal experiments are indeed superfluous, for example we don't need to invent new food additives, new pain killers etc. coz we've already got those we need/want.
Tests on animals have no scientific or moral
justification, and didn't contribute to the development of science, nor its medical work. This
outdated and barbaric method never has given enough good results, even
though it slowed the progress of medicine,because the scientists
involved in it too long instead of searching relevant, safer and more advanced methods.There are many ways to
eliminate tests on animals,today
we have the technical
assistance such as
computer modeling, the
analysis of swabs,
epidemiological studies and clinical trials.
And I'm vehemently against
experiments on animals,it is
morally wrong to harm one species due to the
assumption that it uses to another. Animals are not natural resources
or products, but equally species with whom we
share this planet. Unfortunately, animals don't have the choice,because they can't say no, they are in
complete helplessness
exposed to all that the scientist is planning for
them.They can't even understand
or demand their right to life.
In humans is therefore to
identify, recognize and protect these rights for them in the same way as they have a moral obligation to protect children, retarded or mentally ill.
