What you can achieve from animal testing?
The new medicines are not available without animal testing. It is better to sacrifise animal than human. There is a lot of sadness in every family for a lost member...
Does animal testing always work?
no. animal testing is not always accurate because the body structure of an animal is differnet than the body structer of a human being. Hence the results may not be the same.
What impact did animal cells have on cell research?
They helped for testing. scientists could test on the animals cells rather than human cells.
Why do animals get used for testing and not humans?
Because it is believed that a human life is more important than an animal's life. People don't think of animals feeling pain, testing on humans seems worse than testing on animals. Most of the products are tested on on humans after they have been tested on animals.
What does the animal do in the mud that has these letters walld?
The animal Wallowed in the mud cheaper than a facial
Advantage and Disadvantages of Animal Testing?
Reasons For Animal TestingMedical Advancement: The most obvious advantage of animal testing is for medical experimentation. Advancements in medicine help people, animals, and even plants. Unfortunately, the best way to test potentially new medicines is through animal testing, and if initially successful, then by human testing too. It is considered more humane to do medical testing on animals first, then on humans first, for the obvious reason that human life is considered more precious than animals. Additionally, new medicines can also help animals too, so this falls under the philosophy of the needs of the many (animals) outweigh the needs of the few (animals). Meaning the few animals that are sacrificed or tested upon is worth less than the many animals that are potentially saved or helped, thus helping the greater good is more morale. Of course, this opinion is subjective to each person.Product Safety: Another popular reason for animal testing is for determining the safety of products, such as cosmetics testing. In theory, animals used for safety testing are typically not killed and remain healthy, however they are often maltreated. Again, it is commonly considered that the safety of people outweighs the safety of animals, thus animal testing for safety is common.Scientific Knowledge: Animal testing and experimentation is an excellent source to increase scientific knowledge. No one knows what knowledge that will be attained through animal testing, so the value of such animal testing cannot be ascertained ahead of time or even guessed. The most common examples of animal experimentation for scientific knowledge are animal biopsies and vivisections in schools to teach children biology and medical procedures. While this type of animal testing might not yield immediate useful results, it has been helpful in the long term of helping science.Accuracy: Finally, the biggest reason for animal testing is because it works better than any other alternative. Why animal testing can yield results different than human testing, the similarities between animals and humans is staggering and thus helpful to mankind.Reasons Against Animal TestingTorture and Suffering: Animals undergoing testing can be subjected to torture and suffering. Alternatively in some cases, some animals may be even cured of their ailments and diseases during the process of animal testing.Death: Animals can, and sometimes often, die in the process of animal testing.Ethics/Morality: The ethics and morality of testing on animals is often debated. A large number of people do not believe animal testing is ethical, however they often concede that it is necessary.Choice: Since animals cannot volunteer for animal testing, then some people believe animal testing is not ethical. These people believe that it is only ethical to test on subjects who willingly give their consent for self testing.Accuracy: As mentioned before, animals are different than people, thus their testing results are not always useful or practical for human comparisons. Therefore, if the usefulness of animal testing is in question, then animal testing should be reconsidered.Price: Finally, the price of keeping and disposing of animals can be quite high. That is why testing, on computer simulations, has increased recently. However, the accuracy of computer simulations is less than animal testing.
Why would people want animal testing?
Because it's safer than testing on humans.
List one example of a model used to test a prediction?
You could be testing if a human body cell has more parts in it than animal cells.
How is animal testing unscientific?
The test is done on an animal to "prove" results in a human. Thefore the experiment is being done in a less than perfect model. It would be more scientific to test the substance on a human. However, it would be less ethical to test a substance with unknown results on a human.
Are animal by products and animal testing the same thing?
No these are not the same things animal by products are parts of the animal taken from the animal while animal testing is a horrid thing they do to animals if you would like to get more info than there are probably videos and information about both on theInternet
Does medical testing do more harm than good?
yes, in many cases of animal testing animals die and or get very sick during the testing process.
Why do scientist test animals for cosmetics?
They test cosmetics on animals because since the animal is less important than the actual human, and they are similarly built like us, they test cosmetics and other products on them to see if it is safe for human use. It is also cheaper to get animals and test them, than to get human beings and test products on them.
