Animal experimentation has been a topic of debate for the past decades. Some experts feel that it is beneficial to
use
animals
 for testing,
while
 others opine that it is a brutal method.
This
 essay will discuss both views in depth, why it's good to
use
animals
 for science; and why in my opinion, testing them is cruel. The main benefit of animal testing is that it helps in the development of new drugs. As medical science advances, over decades, researchers try hard to find the cure for many incurable diseases.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.
