How is it that we think it is morally and ethically correct to cause pain and suffering to those animals? This paper will show you both the positive and negative aspects of animal research and how in the end it benefits humans. It will also show you how there are many people who think that there are other ways to research the new medicines and products for humans. How is the scientific research done on animals accomplished and how can they be improved, this paper should answer that question and hopefully open the eyes to those who do not have any moral misgivings about animal research. Another issue that pertains to animal testing is how the animals are treated while in the care of the research facilities and lastly, what is done with those animals when the testing is complete.
Those who against animal experiments insist that those painful experimentation on animals should be halted. The pain is not moral whether it is experienced by a child, an adult, or an animal. If it is wrong to impose pain on a human being, it is also wrong on an animal. But many people argue that halting animal experiments would end the progress of science and actually human are taking gain from those experiments. Animal experiments should be acceptable if the pain is minimized in all experiments.
Both types of cruelty should be taken seriously, but psychiatrists have found that harming animals is a precursor to committing more acts of violence. These acts of violence could potentially be against humans. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Allen Brantley was quoted as saying, "Animal cruelty is not a harmless venting of emotion in a healthy individual; This is a warning sign." Take the Columbine school
Nature is also a common cause of animal cruelty. Some examples could be weather conditions or predator habits. This article suggest overall that while considering animal rights, we should consider natures harm to them. Should we consider nature or write it off as natural selection? Maybe it is okay for natural selection but it definitely isn't okay for people to try and determine
Just because one may clone an animal doesn’t make any difference as one was to clone a human being. You may think that cloning animals will save today’s world from hunger, well guess what? You’re wrong. Cloning an animal may even kill a person’s life by the effect of the genetic makeup used. Even with human cloning for
These tests are pointless for a couple of reasons. First of all, some scientists think that testing products on animals will show the effect it will have on humans. This is quite unrealistic, because animals are not humans. These days, there are new research methods coming out such as computer models, cell cultures, and human studies. These are more accurate, less expensive, and do not physically harm any animals*.
For example it would be almost impossible to control the variables that may influence a situation and although being able to control the environment/variables may seem like a good thing all its creating is an artificial environment. This is the reason why field experiments are better favored by an interpritivist as an experimental method. There are also many ethical issues regarding the conduction of experiments on human beings as informed consent is necessary from the participants and it is difficult or impossible to get consent of somebody who has learning difficulties or is a baby. Many sociologists choose not
Second, the participants were deceived. According to ethical code of researches, participants should be completely informed what would take place during the experiment in the inform consent form before the experiment, but the researchers did not properly address all the situations to the participants. The violence was completely not expectable by the participants. From the perspective of ethical issue, it was wrong to conduct this experiment, but from the perspective of research, it is right to conduct this experiment. Therefore, I would say that it is worthy to conduct this experiment because the outcomes of experiment are very useful for the discovery of human behaviors.
Ethics of Human Experimentation One major issue of Human experimentation that has been around as long as science has been recorded is weather or not the experimentation at hand is ethical. Biomedical experimentation on humans has its own code of ethics in which testing medicines and chemicals on humans are proven to be unethical, while social scientific experiments have its own. Even though the experiments at hand do not always physically harm the subject, it is not always ethical. Exploitation of a subject has been commonly proven to be unethical. In some experiments, the subject would be researched without knowing his or her behavior is being recorded.
It is up to us to speak for these creatures who lack a voice, for who will if we don’t? One of the first steps in protecting animal and creating effective cruelty laws is understanding what they actually are. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. Passive cruelty involves acts exclusion. It might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and sometimes death.
