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 own opinion.

Many novel medicinal and product safety experiments have been carried out by using
animals
as subjects.
While
I strongly uphold the same idea as advocates who believe these practices should be prohibited owning to their contradiction with our moral principles, they are perceived by many as a sacrifice for the greater good. On the one hand, a considerable portion of the public believes that these experiments are essential for the countless lives of people that can be saved. A drug obtained through these procedures,
for instance
, will be safe for human use and greatly help the lives of many.
Although
this
view is understandable, it has major flaws,

as the need for consideration that there are many humans deemed by the public to be more deserving to have those tested .
Conversely
, a great number of people including me stand against it and believe
such
practices should be banned on account of the fact that
animals
also
have feelings as humans and should be treated as
such
. In the past, it’s been proven by numerous scientific investigations that
animals
have the capacity to feel a variety of emotions.
Therefore
, empathy towards
animals
has greatly increased, leading to many people standing up against the big pharmacy companies, and deterring them from carrying out any more of those practices that are considered by society as animal cruelty.
Overall
, I believe that being cruel towards
animals
with the justification of it being beneficial to humanity is completely unacceptable
due to
the fact that they

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
