Argumentative Essay On Animal Testing

For many years there has been controversy whether or not animals should be tested on between scientists and animal right supporters. It is very debatable if animals should be tested on when a cure for a disease could be found from testing on animals. From my own personal view I have a huge heart for animals, but if we can not find other alternatives, and is possible we can find cures for diseases, then animals may be used for research, but only for medical reasons.

A poll that was conducted by scientists “agreed that the use of animals in research is essential.” Scientists have found that humans share 99% of their DNA with chimpanzees, and 98% of a mouses DNA. With DNA almost identical to a humans scientists are able to discover so many different things that could save a

Using animal testing we are able to figure out if a product or vaccine is safe for people to use. If it was not for the animals the only way we would be able to tell if it was safe would be to test it on ourselves. Not many people would want to try out a new drug that could cure a disease because of the side effects or even possible death from it and that is where animal testing comes in. Scientists do not make animals just take the pain if they think it will be painful for them. They will give the animal painkillers to relieve the pain if it is evolved. Scientists will also test it on another alternative if possible before testing it on the
