The controversial issue of animal testing

The controversial issue of puppet testingAnimal testing is categorized into three main groups which are chemical testing, medical testing and look testing. Using non- human being animals for such tests is a controversial issue that may lead several opinions whether on experts and non-expert views. Experts might say it is beneficial to human because with by the non-human animals, where would science be now? Aristotle (384-322 BCE) and Erasistratus (304-258 BCE) were among the first to perform proves on living animals. The physician operates and testing surgical procedures on to the animals before implementing on to human. Long ago, research in animal testing had helped people in curing their illness and count onmed like the animals died for a good cause. On the other hand, people who stand up for animal rights would see this as cruel and in barelyice act for the animals. They claimed that animals have feelings and they endure feel pain too. The pros and cons are still in consider ation by most animal-testing patience in order to keep the consumer needs. But, is it morally acceptable to experiment on non-human animals to develop harvest-times and medicines that benefit human beings? No, it is morally unacceptable.In Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary fifth edition, moral is based on ones sense of what is right and just, not on legal rights and obligation able to understand the differences between right and wrong. Billions of animals have died to furtherance science. To test one chemical whether or not it is carcinogenic which means any substance that produces cancer, it points 500 to 1000 animals to be tried and to make received that the chemical is free from cancer -causal. We rather let the animals die because of expected cancer from the chemicals just to satisfy human needs in cosmetics, household heterogeneous and pharmacy. Not that on the other hand it meant that we rather see human died because the chemicals are not tested but logically, the sci entists should have known the cause of cancer, why would they put the chemicals in the product at first place? If science is advance enough, why use the innocent animals? Humanity should speak by itself.From the translation itself and the question asked, the answers would be a definite no because it is wrong to experiment on animals because animals are living things that have emotions. Animals do not just beget from physical pain but also mental pain. We can notice a persons emotions without him saying anything because of non-verbal language or body language he expressed. If we can examine body language in human, then we are also able to observe non-verbal language of animals. Love an animal, it depart love you, hurt the animal, it will hurt you. Pictures of vivisections of animals (Appendix 1), their eyes were filled with pain and innocent faces are enough to upset us human. When we experiencing on animals, it is likely to experience on humans, the difference is just animals do not speak human and we cannot understand them. We might as well pictured the animals being tortured, in great pains, yelling for help and laborious their very hard to escape from that evil experiment. Experiment is what we called a scientific test done carefully in order to study what happens and to gain rude(a) knowledge, quoted from the lexicon. Any side effects will result in failure and poor animals, another hundreds or thousands of them will be used in the experiment to get better results. Consider yourself being experimented by another form of species and they treat you the same way as human did to non-human animals (Appendix 2). Allegedly, there is animal euthanasia which means the act of unpainful killing. How can we ever know that it is not painful? How can we know that the animals used in so-called painless finish tests died peacefully? Before a new aftermath shown in your local stores, the goods have gone through a complicated and long process which leaves millions of tested animals damaged, poisoned, undergo mutation, and other unnecessary tests. Animal testing is cruelty to them, forcing them to endure the frightful side effects just so a new product can be released.Chemical testing on animals are not 100% accurate because animals do not respond the same as human does. In reality, animal research and scientists never guarantee that medication, cosmetics and other products will be safe and effective for human. There are products that have been pulled out of the trade because of consumer complaints of irritancy on undresss and some were severe illness and death but were previously tested on animals. Although the tests on medicine seemed safe for consumer use, two million Americans survive seriously ill and approximately 100,000 people die every year because of reactions to medicines they were prescribed extracted from connection Magazine, Volume 8, Number 2. The statistics occurred because of the inaccurate animal experimentation which result s unequal evaluation the effects of chemicals on humans. Different animals have different body brass and it reacts differently. Animals and human obviously have different condition of body system and it is the entire issue of the failure. Biologically speaking, different body system would result in different drug metabolism and thus dissimilar effects take place. Innumerous animals have been sacrificed and suffering from animal abuse during medicine testing. This situation is very unfair. While humans are cured, animals are slaughtered.The alternatives would be computer simulations and modeling which have the entire database from previous animal testing subjects. Millions of animals were used onto the same type of product. Researchers should file the report of the experiment and if it is proven safe to human, other intentness that wants to do the same product, they should use the same chemicals or whatever materials they required but not the animals testing. The software can be used in major research centre to do such test with any chemical involve in creating a product that benefit human. Such synthetic skin would be great to test products on skin. Besides that, government and non-government could create great awareness by advertising such ads that directs the realization to the consumer (Appendix 3). Advertisement that has baffling messages creates no awareness among people because somehow it did not touch their heart. When the main point of the advertisement is being straight-forward, people would realize and immediately take effect.As for closure, animal testing is an immoral act. Animal suffering is a cruel act. Yes, it benefits humans to be beautiful and healthy but not to kill them in return. The scientists and researchers should have other way that is more humane. Animals are living things create by God and they can respond the same as human do. The forte of the products tested on animals can never be guaranteed 100% because the products still h arm the consumer even though it has been proven safe. Even the effects only ask small number of people, still we are putting the humans in danger. There are other possible options as alternatives for animal testing. Any pains can be science-advance without animal testing. If animal-testing is being prolong, will our future generations still be able to learn about the animals? Do you think the animals-tested will nonexistent?ReferencesDarshini Kandasamy Animal-testing centre to be set up in Malaysia.Malay Mail Friday, April 2nd, 2010No to animal testing lab plan.The Star Online Thursday June 10, 2010Pete Harrison Great apes protect as EU restricts animal testing.The Star Online Wednesday September 8, 2010Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 16 September 2010S.O.S at the University of Georgia Animals used in experimentsJanet Babin Taking the animals out of testingThursday, May 24, 2007Nun Adilah 6Animal Testing June 8, 2010The National Anti-Vivisection Society Animals in Product Testi nghttp//www.animaltestingfacts.zoomshare.com/The Human Cost of Animal ExperimentsNexus Magazine, Volume 8, Number 2http//www.sourcewatch.org Animal testing 7 April 2010 Doris Lin Why Its Wrong to Test on AnimalsHaris Amin Animal Testing Is Animal Testing ethically IncorrectHaris Amin Animal Testing Are there any alternativesNun Adilah 7BMJ Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans?28 February, 2004http//www.lad.org.hk/bmjfeb2004.htmOxford advanced learners dictionary 5th edition, International StudentNun Adilah 8APPENDICES
