Now then, this question has a little to with opinion but mostly with facts like:
Animals are tested on when they are asleep
They feel no pain for they are asleep
Rodents are nearly the only animals tested on
If it wasn't animals being tested on people would die from kidney failure because no one would do the transplant because they wouldn't be sure enough.
Now although all those points seemed fine and the animals are happy you must decide your own opinion for the question so research all you can ask teachers or parents or friends and think...
It is not ethical to experiment on animals for medical research. It is a cruel process, especially if drugs produce an unexpected reaction. These animals are treated as disposable products, not living things.
With improvements in technology, animal experimentation is now considered by many departments to be unnecessary.
Historically many animals used for research were poorly treated. Because of advances in technology and a better understanding of what constitutes humane treatment, the use of animals for research is diminishing.
Yes, because animals are living beings, just like humans, even if they aren't at the same level of progress as us.

No. Animal testing is a necessary part of research.
Animal testing has advanced our technology and medicine. Practicaly every medical breakthrough in recent years has been due to research with animals. For example, treatments for TB, AIDS/HIV, smallpox, polio, cancer, and other devestating illnesses could only have come up (ethically) as a result of animal testing. Additionally, not only do humans benefit, but so do animals. Veterinarian treatments (i.e. treatments for animals) are largely also the result of animal testing. Research on animals has also uncovered new ways on how to treat better treat animals. Had animal testing not existed, it is very unlikely that our healthcare and well-being would be as advanced as it is today.
When working with animals, scientists are expected to follow a code of ethics. Included in this code are the 3Rs:
Replacement: Scientists must exhaust alternative means to get the results without testing on the animals themselves. For example, instead of testing on animals, the answers can be found from archival video clips of nature, or from computer modeling. In other words, animal testing must only done as a last resort.
Reduction: If testing on animals is necessary, scientists must use as few animals as possible.
Refinement: When animal testing is necessary, scientists must refine their methods taken to eliminate any unnecessary suffering caused to the subjects. For example, if an animal must be opened to view something, the animal must be anaesthized, and if it is necessary to kill the animal, it must be put down in a humane manner.
Unfortunately, there are indeed occasions where some researchers inflict unnecessary cruelty on animals, such as the Silver Spring monkey case. However, to use this to brand all animal testing as cruel is like using workplace abuse cases to brand all businessness as evil. No respectable scientist is motivated by sadism or desire to cause harm to animals. Remember, scientists are just as human as any other person on earth, and sometimes they make mistakes that have consequences. This is no more flawed than a person trying to rescue and free animals, only to unknowingly and unintentionally kill them.
It is lamentable that animals are subject through this, but it is a sacrifice that is necessary for the better.
Yes, but only if the animals aren't caused undue harm, and only if it's for a good cause (e.g. medical research NOT cosmetics)
A laboratory mouse is one of the most used animals when it comes to experiment and research. Right handling and care is required for the quality of science. Laboratory animals can be also treated as pets.
Medical testing on animals is viewed as right to some people. To others animal testing is not a good thing at all.

animal abuse, humane ways of slaughtering animals in factory farms. medical research. and any other animal welfare laws. examples: animals being boiled and skinned alive and conscious, animals in circuses begin beat and mishandled to perform right. hens being crowded in 1 by 1 (foot) cages 5-11 hens at a time. animals with no access to medical treatment when injured. sick animals being made into meat where the wounds are bacteria and puss infested.
An experiment gives us proof that we are right.
Yes, there are online medical jobs available. A very popular option right now is medical transcription online. Do your research and be careful which company you use, because there are many scams out there.
When developing new drugs and medical procedures they have to be tested first before giving them to the general public. The question is, is it better to test these things (which may be very harmful and painful) on animals first or people first. This is a personal question you have to answer for yourself. Right now our laws allow for animal research so most people think its the better choice. Maybe in the future scientists will find a better way to do these tests without animals or people.
Right now, there is a department located in Washsington D.C. called the M3 Lab, the Microsoft Medical Media Lab which involves research and development of technologies that are helpful in healthcare...
it is called the control of the experiment
If we accept that animals can suffer and that there should be justice in the world, then it is obvious that no one has no right to inflict suffering or illness or disfigurement on any innocent creature.
you need to take math for giving the right change at the till,and research about animals so you know about them
