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.

However

, I would strongly agree with those who believe that animal experiments are immoral because research using

does not justify the suffering they must endure. If testing is required, there are animal alternatives that can serve the desired purpose. Nowadays, computerized human models are available that give identical results.
In addition
