The idea of utilizing living organisms for the benefits of humans can
be argued to have certain disadvantages. Primarily, the practice of
animal experimentation for medical research is deemed as cruel and
inhumane. For instance, laboratory rodents are subjected to electric
shock and forced swimming, causing them significant pain and
distress, which is perceived as morally objectionable. Additionally,
animals do not naturally encounter as many diseases as humans do.
Consequently, artificially inducing these diseases in animals is unlikely
to precisely replicate human responses.
On the other hand, some people argue that utilizing animals for
benefit is completely acceptable.
A reason for this view is that animals, despite being sentient, are still
largely controlled by their instincts. Owing to this lack of higher
mental capacity, they probably do not deserve the same rights that
humans have.
Furthermore, there are human needs that cannot be fulfilled without
making use of animals. For instance, as there are so many people on
Earth, it is impossible not to use animals for sustenance. If animals
were to disappear overnight, billions would die of starvation.
