Should animals be used for scientific researches?
There has been a lot of discussion about should animals be used for scientific
researches recently. Some people hold the belief that testing animals for scientific purposes involves extreme cruelty. Some people argue that it is
unavoidably needed. Personally, I sadly believe that animals should be used
for researches appropriately.
The fact that animals do help in drug delevopment is undeniable. In the past
few decades, most people suffered from some unidentified diseases which
were difficult to cure. That is the reason why scientists have been starting to
use animals for those researches. As a result of that, people were saved from
fatal illnesses. At present, the practice still bring a lot of benefits to us.
Therefore, it should not be banned.
Ensuring the safety of products when using is another reason it should not be
against on top of having a great contribution on drug development. When
selecting cosmetic or medical products, we insensibly pick up the ones which
have been tested on animals. This is arisen from the ensured quality and safty.
We know that the prouducts tested will not have serious effects on our bodies.
Therefore, we should give applause to this practice with respect rather than
ban it as it saves our life.
