Some people think that testing on animals is necessary for discovering medicine that helps fight diseases, while others believe it is not necessary to test on animals for this reason. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Even though medical equipment and knowledge have evolved, numerous new diseases are discovered and need to be addressed. For
this
matter, an argument appears regarding the medicine testing on
animals
. Some people believe that testing is essential to check the effectiveness
while
the other group think it is unnecessary. I believe that both opinions have pros and cons, and I stand with the idea of testing medicine on non-human subjects.
To begin
with, sample testing of a new cure on
animals
is urgently needed before public use, and I agree.
Firstly
, doing research on
animals
is known to be less risky compared to doing it on humans. It is because medical researchers need to prevent any side effects caused by the medicine. To address
this
, they need to do a thorough assessment
whereas
implementing it on another human may be fatal to the subject. So, they need
animals
that resemble someone's body parts as subjects. Another reason is that it is cost-effective.
Subsequently
, the research usually tests the meds on
such
creatures which are known to be found easily,
such
as mice.
Thus
, they do not have to spend a high price. Albeit beneficial, animal testing is opposed by some groups of people,
for instance
, animal lovers and vegans. The main reason for
this
argument is based on moral values because these communities believe that
animals
are
also
living creatures who have the right to live and applying the test to them is hurting them. As an alternative, they suggest government provide a volunteering system for better medical testing. It means that the public who are willing to be tested can apply as a research subject. In
this
way, the medical team can find a more suitable reaction to the medication. In conclusion, the opinion to test new meds on
animals
is needed for humanities. I agree with
this
idea because it is less risky and cheaper. Despite those reasons, some people believe that
such
testing is against their morale.
