Experimentation on
animals
is a normal method to assess medications, products, and services, among other technologies used nowadays to satisfy our humanity's demands.
Nevertheless
, these practices involve aspects between the moral line of the good and the bad. The aforementioned notion arises because some people object that animal experimentation should be removed
whereas
scientists need those methods to make discoveries and in the future find solutions to the biggest problems. In
this
essay, I answer the question of whether these methodologies justify the use of living organisms and which alternatives can be given from my knowledge and experience. First and foremost, is not justified those mechanisms of testing with
animals
for two reasons, the first one relies on the fact that
animals
contain nerves and the suffering can't be relieved.
For instance
, some experiments in rats include medication of toxins, allergic compounds, and on-edge environments where the final result comes with the death of the rodent.
Hence
, there is no guarantee of the survival of a life considering that it just benefits humans.
Secondly
, the discoveries are most cases in pro of humanity,
this
is an envious position because we don't give any reward exchange to other species.
For example
, experiments kill more than 1000 rabbits only to watch if a colony smells good on a woman's skin. For these reasons, as human beings, we can make solutions and face
this
issue, a good alternative consists of using humans as experiment subjects. As a sample, we can use criminals or terrorist people as a way to punish their actions by contributing to science.
Nonetheless
,
this
solution can be hazardous because there are human rights that warn about the privilege of being alive and safe.
Therefore
, we have to change the system and consider new standard methods.
To conclude
, experimentation on
animals
is not justified and there are good alternatives
such
as using humans as volunteers or criminals. In our system, we are conceived with the power to change it all and discover a new way to find treasure without killing innocent creatures.

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
