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.

In

this

day and age, experiments on

animals

, which is a controversial topic, are often discussed yet rarely understood. My own view on

this

matter is that

this

experiment is completely cruel and inhuman. To put an end to

this

situation, non-animal

methods

are created by technological advancement and replace merciless

methods

. It is undeniable that animal testing has had an influential role in almost all medical breakthroughs for hundreds of years. More especially, animal research has provided mankind to achieve life-changing discoveries through modern drugs, vaccines and various procedures.

Moreover

, testing on

animals

has rescued and improved millions of lives.

This

approach has benefited scientists in comprehending how to treat and prevent various conditions

such

as high blood pressure, diabetes, poliomyelitis and other diseases.

Additionally

, there are many genetic similarities between some

animals

and

humans

.

According to

scientific research,

humans

are 98% genetically analogous to mice,

this

resemblance enables accurate testing of human genes.

On the other hand

, countless

animals

are experimented on and

then

killed after their usage whilst others are injured and still live the remainder of their lives in captivity.

In addition

,

this

research generally costs an enormous amount of money, as the

animals

must be fed, looked after and treated with medicines.

Animals

and

humans

are never exactly the same, so reactions in

animals

when the application on

humans

can fail.

However

, the world’s most forward-thinking researchers are developing non-animal

methods

for studying diseases and testing products. Almost all types of human and animal cells can be grown in the laboratory.

Therefore

, scientists have grown cells into 3D structures,

such

as miniature human organs, which can test new therapies.

This

is clearly a leap in science and escapes thousands of creatures. In conclusion, the science relating to animal experiments is cruel and cannot be defensible.

Thus

,

due to

innovations in science, animal tests should be replaced by more humane

methods

.
