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 favor of them because of their benefits to humanity. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

Globally, medical science is developing rapidly and testing of the newly discovered medicines on

animals

has been a practice for a long time.

Although

there are debated views regarding the same, some still believe it is for the betterment of humankind and

therefore

Linking Words

should be continued. In

this

Linking Words

essay, I will discuss both views and explain why I support

such

Linking Words

a practice. A group of people is strictly against

such

experiments for various reasons. According to them,

animals

are meant to be free in the wilderness. Unfortunately, for the selfish attitudes of human beings, most of the time these creatures are kept in captivity in laboratories for tests, which is not right. Apart from

this

,

also

after the application of the newly invented drugs a number of species have been extinct. An article published in The Hindu posits that a breed of mountain rats in northern India,

for example

, were killed as the medicine applied to it had adverse effects on that particular animal, which later on got spread among the entire species and pushed them to the brink of extinction. In my opinion,

however

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

is mere perception and does not have strong evidence. Despite the aforementioned aspects, there are people, including me, who support the testing of new medicines on

animals

for two important factors. The

first

logic they believe in is to protect humankind from any unforeseen consequences of the invention. When a new drug is developed,

for example

Linking Words

, the nuclear medicines for cancer, it might cause dire side effects on the patients, if not tested on beforehand. Adding to

this

Linking Words

, they

also

argue that the

animals

which are mostly used for

such

experiments have a higher reproduction rate.

Therefore

Linking Words

, running the necessary tests for the application of newly discovered drugs on them does not result in the extinction of the breed in any way. In conclusion, many will argue that running the tests on the

animals

not only pushes them to the brink of extinction but

also

Linking Words

creates an imbalance in the ecosystem, which,

however

Linking Words

, are not true. To protect mankind and to avoid the bigger consequences, it is the only resort

that is

less hazardous than others.
