Furthermore, Suzuki effectively discusses the quality of life for the animals being tested, and the depressing and deprived realities that these helpless animals survive. Suzuki makes valid points throughout his article including his statement, “What gives us the right to exploit other living organisms as we see fit? How do we know that these other creatures do not feel pain or anguish just as we do?”(p.91). Suzuki utilizes pathos to strengthen his argument and attempts to shape the opinion of the public. Is it intelligence that determines the animal’s self-worth and right to live, or is it that animals may possess the same if not identical Neuroanatomy of humans?
constructive speech Animals can be used in lab experiment . First of all, Animal Experiment Provides a Platform for Medical Research: Now we manage to treat diseases like measles, smallpox, malaria today which are all horrible disease only because of animal experiment. The California Biomedical Research Association states that nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals. Without these experiment, we may even not have the chance standing here to make this debate! Secondly,Animals are appropriate research subjects because they are similar to human beings in many ways.
‘Experimenting with animals is worthy as it saves human life’ INTRO: Using animals to advance scientific knowledge understand disease and develop and test new medicines and life saving cures is a very controversial topic in today’s society. Whilst some go to extremes such as using violence to protect animals, others see no moral problems with animal testing for medical research as it is benefiting humans. FOR: Animal testing in the past has proved to be very successful, as it has developed vaccines to diseases such as TB, rabies and mumps. Every medical therapy has evolved from animal research for his reason it is believed that Animal testing is a good thing. If a doctor wants to use animals for research they have to prove that the harm of the animal equals the benefit it will give the human, also, through legislation all lab animals must be protected form cruelty of mistreatment.
People have yet to realize that their favorite type of deodorant or those good-smelling fragrances they like to put on were once tested on animals. These animals are forced to swallow or inhale large quantities of a test substance or endure the pain of having chemicals applied to their sensitive eyes and skin (Peta). Many times the results of animal tests are often not applicable to humans, but even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you. Many testing centers keep such animals out of their natural surroundings, until time to experiment on them. Throughout that time these animals become so unadapt to their new surroundings, they become less likely to return to their natural state which gives those experimenting more reason to test them.
Many argued that alternatives for testing products should be utilized. Although there are other alternatives, to this day, animals are being experimented on for people’s needs such as cosmetics and medical purposes. Animal testing for cosmetic purposes first started in 1933 when a woman used Lash Lure mascara, it burned her eyes, which made her blind and eventually led to her death. The Food and Drug Administration therefore passed a law called the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. Two common tests performed on animals to determine the toxicity of a chemical are the LD50 and the Draize test.
While driving along the highway I noticed a billboard protesting animals be used in experimentation. If medical and scientifical experimentation were to be done in only human trials the knowledge and understanding of how drugs and procedures can affect humans would be decades behind. That is why the use of animals in experimentation is a must in order to continue advancing medicine and science. Animals have a high reproductive rate and are easy to breed. Animals have the same organs and tissues as humans do making them very good analogues.
HOW TO FIGHT ANIMAL CRUELTY? Did you know that beside the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) or the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Organizations, you too can help stop animal cruelty in your community? Here are just a few ways we can all help: 1. Know who to call to report animal cruelty. 2.
With human deaths constantly on the rise, animal testing should be used as our primary source for cures. As many people may think animal testing has not just started recently. The idea of stewardship of animals developed in ancient times, as early as humans domesticated animals. Additionally in early cultures, priests or shaman began to observe the relationship between human health and animal diseases. Many basic cell processes are the same in all animals, and the bodies of animals are like humans in the way that they perform many vital functions such as breathing, digestion, movement, sight, hearing and reproduction.
For example, the eyes, scientists could not tell if the medicine will cause blindness if they do not use animals on testing. Not only humans that benefit from these animal testing but animals themselves benefit from it too. Animal testing treated a lot of animal species from many deadly diseases using vaccines that are tested on them before. It also saved many types of animal species that are at risk from extinction. These vaccines have cured many sick animals back to normal and likewise enhanced their health in many ways.
Discuss the use of animal and ethics in research. Using animals in research is a concern to some; however, the benefits derived from the ethical, humane use of laboratory animals for biomedical research are huge. Where animals are used in research projects, they are used as part of a range of scientific techniques. These might include human trials, computer modeling, cell culture, statistical techniques, and others. Animals are only used for parts of research where no other techniques can deliver the answer.
