w1 Science Testing on Animals Due to an extensive testing and quality control phase in both the medical and cosmetic industries, there’s a considerable amount of animal laboratory product testing. It can’t be denied that the effectiveness and benefit of such testing is crucial in the development of new medicines and products.
First of all, a significant amount of every major medical advancement is attributable to experiments on animals. Since the beginning of scientific exploration, we’ve used animals to test ideas and products to help advance and preserve the human race. If it weren’t for these experiments, who knows what invaluable medicines and products might never have been developed?
Furthermore, if animals weren’t used for testing, we’d be forced to test new drugs on people instead. The idea of using humans to experiment with new medicines and products is an idea most people find unimaginable. Again, there would be very few people who would volunteer for such a task, and the consequences would be less testing, and consequently less discoveries and advancement.
Lastly, most experiments being done in medical testing are not actually painful to animals, and are therefore justified. Experiments where scientists apply lipstick to a rabbit, or try out a new shampoo and conditioner on its fur coat, could hardly be considered inhumane treatment. Ultimately, science is conducting these studies ethically and with the end goal to produce better medicines and products.
The reading passage presents the advantages of the testing of the new medicine and cosmetic products on animals and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor does not agree with this opinion and refutes each of the author’s reason.
First, the article states that medical advancement is a positive consequence of testing the new products on animals. The professor refutes this point by stating that the testing on animals is not relevant for the human safety’s point of view. He mentioned an article published by “Royal Journal for Medicine” in which is explained that medical evolution is not attributable to animal testing.
Second, the reading claims that if the drugs wouldn’t be tested on animals, they will have to be tested on humans and there are not too many people opened to these trials. The lecturer contends that this is not a valid point because the drugs and new products are tested on people anyway. Moreover, it is irrelevant for the human health if the product has been already tested on animals and it was proved to be safe for them. The same product might be harmful for the human body. According to the professor, the Food and Drug Administration Agency (FDA) revealed that 92 % of drugs which were demonstrated to be safe for the animals failed when they were tested on humans.
Third , the article asserts that testing of new medical products is not painful to the animals. The professor opposes this point by saying that according to the New Act of Animal Welfare, the animals involved in testing process can be burned, shocked, restrained and starved. In the professor’s opinion is hardly to believe that these kind of treatments do not cause pain to the animals. In addition to that, the gain in medical advancement is not significantly enough to compensate the animals’ exposure to cruel treatments.
