Is it justified to use animals in scientific experiments Explain your answer basis your experience and knowledge and suggest alternatives if any

Progress
in science has vastly improved the living standards of humans in the
last
couple of centuries.
Progress
in science rests on scientific discoveries which are not possible unless one is willing and able to test and sharpen the new theories and knowledge via practical
experiments
. These
experiments
, especially in the preliminary stages, are more risky for its subjects
due to
the majority of unknowns. In the field of medicine, the subjects in the initial stages of inquiry and
experiments
are often
animals
like rats and other mammals as they bear a close resemblance to human DNA structure and
hence
the findings from
experiments
conducted on these
animals
are more relevant to predict the impact on humans. Given these
experiments
essential but risky, the question is that should we subject these
animals
to the
experiments
, is it justified, are there any alternatives? In my opinion,
although
experiments
on
animals
are not preferable but given the lack of alternative, they are essential, as the net outcome is positive as it leads to scientific
progress
and better living conditions for the greater population.
Hence
the stakeholders must walk a fine line to avoid abuse of
animals
and
while
preserving the pace of scientific
progress
.
Hence
we must take steps to minimize the negative effect of these
experiments
on
animals
and there are ways in which various parties like the scientific community, government bodies and NGOs can play a part. There are 2 broad ways of address
this
concern (1) by minimizing the number of
experiments
conducted to only the essential ones (2) by ensuring that we use all the available information and knowledge to minimize the risk of these
experiments
on well being of
animals
. Let's expand: 1) Minimize the number of
experiments
: - Meta database of
experiments
conducted till date and easy accessibility to facilitate collaboration within the scientific community and reduce duplication of
experiments
- Use of AI and similar technologies to create simulations to the extent possible to avoid
experiments
on
animals
. 2) Minimize the negative effect of
experiments
1) Strong justification for the experiment 2) Best practice for conducting
experiments
3) Minimize the unknowns prior to experiment to minimize the risk 4) Sound regulations and legislation to govern the
experiments
With these measures, we can minimize the adverse impact on
animals
without halting the engine of scientific discovery.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
