There is no doubt that performing necessary experiments on creatures leads to a tremendous impact on our pharmaceuticals industry and I believe that as long as the
research
is cruelty-free, there should be no issue with executing them. In our day-to-day life, we use several cosmetic products and medicines. For real, manufacturing medicines, scientists have to go through multiple essential studies on
animals
such
as rats or mice. Sometimes, the testing could be risky for the rat and the rat might lose its life.
However
, the government should have passed a law with a certain specification on how, why, and in which case the pharma industry performs analysis on the
animals
.
Additionally
, doctors or pharmacists have to examine animal's health first and
then
they are allowed to conduct
research
on them.
For example
, in the
last
decade, the U.K. published that there were a total of 2% of
animals
lost their lives
due to
the fact, that scientific
research
was carried out on them at London University.
On the other hand
, conducting experiments could lead to determining the greatest scientific discoveries in the medical or cosmetics world and we can all benefit from that. The best reward in the history that we discovered is the cancer medication. Because of the repeatedly testing on the
animals
while
making

medication, scientists found the best medication to cure cancer and
hence
, now we can save cancer patients anywhere in the world.
Moreover
, we could use other plants or to some extent humans for more categories of investigations where zero or minimum damage is involved in the process. In conclusion, to keep alive our planet and all humans, we have to execute a number of vital
research
on
animals
even though we might lose a few of them.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
