What is animal testing? Animal testing involves using live animals to research the basics of biology and disease and evaluate the effectiveness of new medical products (Humane Society International). But there have been many debates about animal testing, with people either for or against using animals for medical research. Many say the use of animals is important for the advancement of medical research, without the use of animal medicine, cancer treatment, antibiotics for infections, vaccines to help prevent deadly diseases and new transplantation techniques, it would not exist and there would be no safe life. protest) As former British minister Joan Ryan said: “Animal research and testing has played a role in almost every medical advance of the last century. He has saved hundreds of millions of lives around the world. But those who oppose it don't feel the same way. They believe that animal testing for medical research is in no way relevant to human health, that animals do not contribute to the progress of medicine, that for many years scientists managed to completely release a mouse of cancer, but no person has been free from cancer. It is said that animals are simply subjected to suffering out of curiosity. (PETA) The organ systems of animals share similar characteristics to humans. Both bodies perform many vital functions such as breathing, digestion, movement, sight, hearing and reproduction. Allows scientists to easily understand how living things work and how to treat diseases when the body gets sick in order to return it to its proper state. Additionally, a large amount of knowledge about the anatomy and functions of the body has been gained through animal experimentation.
