Should we experiment with animals?

AUTHOR: Miguel Angel Salinas Sanchez

“INTRODUCTION”

Experimentation with animals is nowadays a basic activity of medical science, to which

animal rights movements are opposed, normally based on a merely natural vision of man
and animals, which equals them, however, there are results found in animals are
applicable to man, and therefore the similitudes between man and animal is the basis that
allows experimentation with animals. This essay is ideal for arguments against and in favor
of experimentation, concluding that you should do with the dilemma of animal
experimentation.

“DEVELOPMENT”

First of all, experimentation has played a vital role in the medical discoveries of the last
decade, since humans and animals are very similar (we have the same organic systems
performing the same functions more or less in the same way), as well as in terms of
ethical the end of the research action must be beneficial for man or the animals
themselves and also the action must meet a series of requirements or circumstances that
ensure a rational use of animals and an appropriate work methodology
On the other hand, scientists with innovative thinking have developed research methods
without modern, human and efficient animals, including microdosification in humans, in
vitro technologies, human patient simulators and sophisticated computer models, which
are cheaper, more faster and more accurate than animal tests.
“CONCLUSION”
In conclusion, the dilemma that must be confronted is the following: either we accept
experimenting with sentient individuals, or we reject it and opt for other research
methods. So the abandonment with the experiments with non-human animals and
investing in the development of other methods with better results leave aside animal
experimentation and chemical suffering to animals.
