Is it good for non-human animals if you do medical testing on them?

Absolutely not.
The exploitation of creatures for painful and deadly experiments for the benefit of humans does non-humans no good. How can they benefit from new vaccines when they're dead as a result of the disease the pseudo-scientists gave them?

Medical testing on animals is right. da S hI t?
Medical testing on animals is viewed as right to some people. To others animal testing is not a good thing at all.
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.
Does Medical Testing on animals do more harm than good?
It is harm people just shove needles in them and it can kill them!
What do animals look like after makeup testing?
Actually, they don't look so good as once they've finished testing most animals are killed.
What happens to animals in animal testing?
well if the testing is from animal haters the animal will die but if they are good it will live......
What is a Good hobbies to do with animals?
animulz testing for medicines i find fun
Are there good animal tests?
The only way that any animal testing is "good" is because if it is safe on the animal, then it is generally safe on the person. This makes products for people safe to use. You have to weigh this up with the need though. Is it always needed to torture hundreds of animals for your makeup? This is why some people choose only to support medical animal testing, or no animal testing at all.
Animal testing is bad?
animal testing is good and bad. its good to help solve serious diseases and bad because it makes animals suffer in pain.
Medical testing on animals are more good?
It usually does more harm than good. Not only is the process torturous and deadly for the animals involved (i.e. open heart surgery performed on dogs without anesthesia, brain fluid extracted from cats, burns inflicted on rabbits, dyes and chemicals injected into the eyes of animals etc) but it also does little to further the medical community. Many tests are repeated numerous times by different companies because their is no reporting database so tests often get duplicated a multitude of times. Furthermore, companies are legally allowed to do the test over and over until they get the desired result. So, say if a company is testing the safety of a chemical in a household cleaner and 50% of the rabbits die, they can keep running the same test (or dilute the amount of the chemical) until they get the legal amount of deaths so they can put the product on the market. It is not protecting us, just getting them past legal hurdles at the expense of animal lives. Moreover, we now have things like artificial skin which makes it unnecessary to perform these tests on living subjects. I hope that answers your question!
What is the purpose of animal testing?
Many animals are dieing and that is were animal testing the animals comes in for good purpose. The purpose of improving human life instead of sacrificing a human you give up an animal. There are so many animals in the world and animals are still producing more. Think about it "It's you or the animal."
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.
How is testing animals with chemicals good?
To find out allergic reactions, and possible toxic effects with killing people.
