There are many various reasons as to why people may agree with animal and human testing as well as why people may disagree to animal and human testing, these various reasons are elaborated below:
For animal testing
Again there are various different reasons as to why different people from different group’s different categories agree with animal and human testing. The reasons are as follows:
-Human suffering from various health diseases and various conditions is minimised and therefore improves human health.
-The various animal and human testing projects human benefits of which are achieved I said not to be achievable via the use of other methods.
-Animal and human testing ensures as well as enforces the safety of drugs before they put on the market to be sold to the public.
-the main point behind animal and human testing is that it helps scientist as well as researchers to find treatment as well as drugs.
-In a sense it increases awareness around the fact that animals have rights too.
-Another reason why certain people may be for animal testing is to do with the money which is made by this business.
Against human and animal testing
Like stated previously there are various different reasons as to why people are against human and animal testing.
-It is said that despite positive results in animal testing 95% of drugs fail in human trials, One of the reasons for this is usually because the drug does not work on human trials.
-When using mice, rats etc.The results obtained from this test is not not 100% accurate but only 43% accurate.
-Animals are killed prior to testing or even kept in captivity. Those of which are kept in captivity are most likely to be injured due to the scientists and it is said that despite these injuries being noticed these animals are still kept in captivity.
- There are various substances are chemicals which are tested on animals causing animals pain, injuries and even death. and these substances end up not being used. In other words the lives of animals are being wasted for no reason.
-Using animals in order to test chemicals, drugs, substances etc. has proven to be expensive. this is due to having to maintain that animals like feeding, housing etc.
-Through various research by different scientists it has come as a result that despite the minute similarities between humans and animals there is still a lot of difference between the two hence the reason why human trials are done ( after animal testing) there is still a high percentage of failures.
-Sutton religions believe the animals are sacred beings, these religions worship the certain animals of which are being tested on and believes that these animals should not be harmed in any form.
- people that support animal rights may riot due to the way that animals are being treated while being tested.
- When testing on animals unplanned complications may arise.
As clearly shown above it is clear to see that there are many various ethical as well as moral issues around the use of animals for drug testing. Through various research it shows that drug testing on animals began many years ago. In this research it is stated that drugs tested began during the early 1980s, of which was started by small programs and then later developed into projects of which were used and carried out globally. Research also states that small/ big groups or/ and organisations have been working to stop animal testing for a fairly long time.From the period that animal testing began till now Only a little has been done to stop this form of research, it is fair to say the only thing that has changed is the fact that these scientific Industries ensure the simple comfort of animals when being tested. but it was even this being said this does not defeat the fact but animals I've been tested on against their will.
