Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products. Some people argue that these experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals to suffer, while others are in favour of them because of their benefits to humanity. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the development of new medicines and check the safety of the new product, experiment on

animals

is being performed. Some advocates argue that

this

should be prohibited, while others favour

this

notion as it has some merits attached to it. I think that

such

activity is inhuman and should not be performed. In

this

essay, I will discuss both viewpoints of the topic and give my opinion. On the one hand, others often give paramount importance to animal experiments for two main reasons.

Firstly

, pharmaceutical companies find it affordable to implement their research on living organs

such

as rats, monkeys.

This

saves a lot of money for these companies, so they can utilise

this

money on other research practices.

For instance

, a human being will charge a huge amount of money to a company if they want to test a product on them, while the animal will be a cost-free source.

Furthermore

, when the product is tested on animal, it is safe to launch in the market with zero hazards to human life. Seen in

this

light, people may support it to avoid

risk

to the human body. 1

On the other hand

, the detractors do not agree with the aforementioned standpoint, because they think that

animals

also

have as much right as a human to live on the planet. The reason for

this

is if an individual decide whether should live or not,

then

humans can go to any extent for their benefit and can torture

animals

.

For example

, in order to check the degree of

risk

, humans can put

animals

at

risk

for their lives.

Hence

, it becomes apparent that using living organs for our own purpose is inhuman. To conclude,

although

some individuals may find experiments of new launch materials on

animals

cost-effective and safe, there is a greater

risk

attached to it for

animals

. In my perspective, governments should ban

such

activities and provide equal rights to

animals

like humans. It is recommended to come up with alternatives to perform

such

risky task

instead

of using living beings to experiment.
