Many people support use of animals for testing medicines for humans. Others believe it isn’t appropriate to use animals for such experiments. Discuss both views and give your own opinion
Advances in medicine have been occurring at some of the fastest rates in human history. These advances are often attributed to clinical trials, which often occur at the expense of small mammals
such
as mice. Many are of the opinion that it is unethical to conduct Linking Words
such
experiments, while others believe that Linking Words
this
method of discovery is not only acceptableLinking Words

but a requirement. Remove the comma

Although
both views have valid points, I believe that using animals Linking Words
initially
may provide better treatment options for humans in the future.
Linking Words
To begin
with, it is understandable why some may argue that drug testing on small rodents is a poor method of discourse. Linking Words
Firstly
, drug testing comes with all forms of side effects that range from mild discomfort to death. By using drugs on these living creatures we are willingly exposing them to potential harm. Linking Words
Although
Linking Words
this
may seem brutal, it is my understanding that the utmost care is taken to reduce all suffering when tests are being conducted. Linking Words
For example
, frogs are often given anaesthetics during exams. Linking Words
This
reduces much of the pain they may experience.
Linking Words
On the other hand
, the benefits that we may gain from Linking Words
such
methods are too great to quantify. Animals provide an alternative to testing on humans and Linking Words
this
can open the door to cures for all types of diseases. By Linking Words
initially
using mammals we can understand more about how potential therapies work before using them on ourselves. Linking Words
For example
, Linking Words
instead
of exposing individuals to a potentially new cancer therapy which will cure cancer but may lead to heart failure. We can use mice before, which will provide essential knowledge and save human life.
To conclude, both views provide valid arguments. On one ,hand small creatures have feelings and emotions, while contrastingly using them may provide new and life-saving therapies. I believe that Linking Words
this
is an essential evil.Linking Words
