Some people argue that all experimentation on animals is bad and should be outlawed. However, others believe that important scientific discoveries can be made from animal experiments. Can experimentation on animals be justified ? Are there any alternatives ? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
To begin
, scientific and medical experimentation on animals
has been in practice for a long period of time. According to
my point of view, I believe that important findings in the field of medicine and science can be made by experimenting on animals
even though there are certain drawbacks as well.
First and foremost, conducting tests on live species such
as rats, monkeys,dogs and guinea pigs has been there for centuries and people were able to obtain several benefits from it. For an instance, vaccines for Polio, Rubella and even Covid-19 were developed based on the formulas and results received after experimenting on living specimens. Furthermore

genetic technology, there are some living creatures like monkeys and chimpanzees whose DNA pattern is quite similar to that of humans, making it essential to perform such
tests on them. Due to

, it is questionable and problematic to use other species to run some tests even without their consent and mostly they die slowly or face prolonged health issues. As an example, there are certain documentaries where we can see how animals
like lab rats or guinea pigs suffer through this
.
To conclude
, even though there are some issues and problems with using living creatures to make important discoveries, its advantages outweigh the disadvantages.Submitted by vishvaisuranga on
