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.

Some people think that animal testing for the fabrication of medicine and ensuring its safety is important for humanity’s sake, meanwhile others think it is inhumane since it hurts innocent animals.

While

the aforementioned method contributes to humanity’s life and helps us evolve and advance, I assert that the benefits do not outweigh the ethical implications and poor living conditions given to these animals,

thus

making the existence of these types of experiments unacceptable. On the one hand, experimenting on lab critters provides a lot of data to conceive worthwhile medicine that can be used to save lives. These steps are important because

, products not tested correctly could jeopardise human lives,

along with

delaying crucial medical advancements.

For instance

,a study conducted by Jörk University in Sweden in 2018 compared the time used by two different companies to conceive the same product. It proved that the company that tested on critters took 3 years to create its final product, meanwhile the other that did not conduct experiments on critters was only halfway through their research.

On the other hand

, most lab specimens used for research end up dying relatively young, and in atrocious conditions, or else they are abandoned in the wild, completely vulnerable , and it can lead to massive losses, and for the remaining beings, they are exploited to death, leading them to severe health issues,

as well as

a complete loss of their natural behaviour and more.

For example

, an article written in 2006 by Dr. James Smith in the WWN Journal analysed the survival chances of 20 rabbits after being subject to scientific trials in a cosmetic laboratory. It turned out that half of them died

as a consequence

of their internal and external injuries after a week, the other half completely died 3 weeks later

due to

their survival instincts being completely eradicated.

To conclude

Linking Words

, the fact of undergoing trials on wild beasts helps a lot in the development of new remedies and other kinds of products destined for human consumption.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, the consequences of those methods are inhuman and only cause death and suffering;

this

implies that the benefits do not justify the suffering, and

consequently

Linking Words

, I believe that they must be forbidden.
