This document discusses the use of animals in medical research across 3 topics. It first questions whether animal models are useful given differences between animals and humans. It then considers if animal experiments are necessary given alternatives exist. Finally, it examines the ethics of using animals given they can experience pain and fear similarly to humans. The document aims to prompt discussion on this complex issue around using animals for medical research purposes.
