Animal Testing in the Medical Field: Why we Should Get Rid of it All

1. Accuracy: High margin of error.

1.1. Animals anatomical features are similar to humans but not 100% the same.

1.2. Diseases animals contract are vastly different from humans. Human diseases that are most popular to contract are heart disease, HIV, AIDS, cancer, etc. Animals are not able to give the correct answers.

1.3. Animals are unable to show different signs and symptoms and communicate when somethings wrong. Therefore not allowing the full effects of the drugs and/or procedure.

2. Pain and suffering: what animals have to face while testing.

2.1. While being injected with experimental drugs animals endure different types of pain and suffering.

2.2. Animals are not treated properly while facing the experimental process of drugs and procedures.

2.3. The enviroment animals live in while being tested are disgusting and poor living conditions. Animals should be provided with a clean comfortable environment and they are not provided with that.

3. Thesis: Animal testing is used all over the world to try and produce products humans can use everyday. The process animals go through while testing is extremely wrong and should be abolished completely. Animal testing proves inhuman acts which should result in the eliminating of animal testing.

4. Ethics: Principles that govern morals and behavior.

4.1. People who administer the drugs while testing feel a level of degree of guilt.

4.2. Animals endeavor poor treatment while being tested. For example they do not receive the correct treatment for the duration of testing.

4.3. People who test the animals have no correct training on know to properly treat the animal.

5. Price: Testing is expensive.

5.1. The animals they purchase to test on are very expensive in price.

5.2. All drugs used for testing in animals are drugs or procedures that have not been done yet. The price of the drugs are very high due to the necessities needed while testing and the drug itself.

5.3. Not all drugs and procedures are successful resulting in money being wasted that could've gone towards other necessities.
