People also argue that it’s like opening Pandora’s Box, suggesting that there is trial and error. Just think about this, the first surgeries didn’t go perfectly. In fact, if they hadn’t gone wrong we wouldn’t be so advanced at them now. Trial and error comes with everything. How are we supposed to figure out the problem if we don’t even get to practice let alone experiment?
2012. The author states personal opinion about human testing. He also talks about past experiments and how crazy they were. He discusses the difference between experimenting on oneself as opposed to multiple human experiments. "ACCREDITING BODY FOR HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH NEARS REALITY."
Banning embryonic stem cell research would give life a chance to happen since frozen embryos in labs could be implanted into a woman's uterus and become a child at any time. In addition, there are health risks involved with stem cells since instead of curing diseases, stem cell transplants can pass viruses or other agents to patients and thus, cause even more diseases. Furthermore, scientists are cloning embryos in order to overcome tissue rejection during cell transplants and this will inevitably lead to human cloning, which is both dangerous and morally wrong. There is no justifiable reason to continue researching embryonic stem cells since it is immoral, unethical, dangerous, and very
Based on the findings of the first taskforce, the FDA set up another taskforce to review three studies on aspartame which Searle had submitted. The second taskforce published a document which became known as the Bressler Report. This report uncovered questionable practices and deviations during the experiments, including animal pathology sheets which showed errors such as dead rats coming back to life and the inability to decide what dose of aspartame had been given to the rats. Interestingly, the FDA’s Chief Counsel, Richard Merrill, felt there was enough evidence to bring fraud indictments against Searle. (Metcalfe, E., 2000, Sweet Talking, Ecologist, 30(4), 16.
Neha Siddiqui Vivi-section Vivi-section is the act of cutting open an animal for scientific purposes. Vivi-section should not be legal. Us humans are the smartest living beings on this planet but that does not mean we go around stealing the rights of animals for our selfish purposes. We use Vivi-section for scientific purposes, to find cures to deadly diseases but Vivi-section results aren’t accurate since humans and animals aren’t the same. Vivi-section violates animal freedom.
Some companies have a strong belief that animal testing is essential in order to make sure that consumers are protected during the use of their products. For the fact that we allow this to happen in our world is pathetic, and it all comes down to pure selfishness’, an ugly trait in which human’s possess. How can it be rational to take the life out of something because it can’t show or tell someone if they’re in agony? Over the years there have been numerous amounts of companies that have stood strong on not participating in animal cruelty; realistically it should be the only way. Humans are at fault here; before it’s too late we must realize that each living creature has a choice and should never be taken away by pure
Darryl Phillips Mr. Leggett English 4 28 April 17 Behind the Scenes In Animal Testing Animal experimentation is a serious issue that many people oppose, whereas others try to justify the inhumanity behind it. Because of the controversy surrounding this topic, it has caused much frustration in companies and labs that test their products on animals. There are currently many organizations such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatments of Animals) and IAAPEA (International Association Against Painful Experiments On Animals) that oppose animal testing and try to resolve this issue by providing people with knowledgeable information about what is really happening to these animals. Over one-hundred million animals die in labs worldwide every
So with that, they think the embryo is already a human being. The other side, which I’m pro for, is saying that the egg may be potential for human life when fertilized, but if it doesn’t attach itself to the uterus than it isn’t considered one (Advance Science Serving Society). As a whole most people are against it, because they’re scared of what we could do and see how far we can go with the technology we have. I understand the reason for most of those people’s worries. I was scared with what we could do myself, but I have a way we could make people not as scared.
Politicians and other people fighting against embryonic stem cell research are saying that it would cost too much money to fund. Although this is true in that there are some things that may be more important for us to fund, wouldn’t stem cell research be worth it? There are so many diseases that it could potentially cure. There are several kinds of research going on now to cure other diseases that are costing just as much money, why not try one more thing. If there is potential to save several lives by doing research on one thing, why not do it.
Many people do not realize the significance this research can have on a human and society. This research can make paralyzed humans walk again. If this research was legal then who knows how far it can advance many different medical fields. It argued that this research is immoral because a fetus must be used, but this topic falls on all the same lines as abortion. The fetuses that come out of abortion can even be used in stem cell research.
