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.

This

essay attempts to shed light on both sides before concluding that I am in favour of the latter notion. On the one hand, animal testing could be morally wrong to a certain extent. An example of the practice is that animals

for animals, a certain amount of suffering can be justified if human lives are saved. Thanks to animal experiments, there are uncountable successful developments in the medical field.
