1. Animal studied are not reliable sources of human outcomes. In many cases, drugs that appear promising in animal studies have a high failure rate in human clinical trials. 2. Animal based research is cruel and painful 3. There are alternatives to animal testing, such as cell culture techniques, which is a promising alternative.
You should not use animals for drug research because there are millions of people out there who would rather be the test subjects instead. Don't you see them lined up around the block? Me either. Critical, life-saving medications should be tested on animals because our computer models and knowledge on how the drugs interact is too limited. Animal testing can help find an interaction that the designers may have missed before sending the drug of to be tested on humans with potentially fatal results. Mainly because of pain and torture. Absolutely right, Tim. We should perform any of those painful or torturous experiments on PETA members. Using animals for testing purposes has never been a viable concept. The moral and ethical reasons are obvious to knowledgable persons. There is absolutely no scientific findings to prove results found in testing a "lab rat" have any impact on human beings using the same product.In today's high tech science community there is no reason whatsoever to continue such abuse of helpless creatures. Results from the research on animals may not be accurate.. e.g testing on a medication for humans. Would you do it to a person and take a risk with their life? Many times, before we can test a new drug on humans, we test on animals; many important vaccines and important medications have been developed using animal testing. HOWEVER, I absoulutely DO NOT believe in testing cosmetics or shampoo on animals; these are really CRUEL; like putting make-up in a rabbits eyes to see the results. Whenever you buy cosmetics, shampoo, cologne etc... look on the label where it says NOT TESTED on animals; TESTED on humans. Sorry to say animal testing has helped create life saving medical treatment. So you have to balance the issue. It IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE> Thanks.
Animals do have the sense of touch, therefore they feel. Most animals that on which are experimented on, are mammals. Humans are mammals too, the only difference is the ability to speak, but animals can feel exactly what humans feel, only they follow their instinct while we follow our desires.

Animals may or may not be treated fairly during experimentation and testing. Some facilities do research in a way that doesn't hurt their subjects (the animals) but some do. Often, animals will go through agonizing experiments for the benefit of humans.

Testing drugs on non-human animals is not only cruel, it is unreliable, wasteful, and dangerous. Non-human animals do not get many of the diseases that humans do, including Parkinson’s disease, major types of Heart disease, many types of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, HIV, and schizophrenia. Only 50% of the DNA responsible for regulating genes in mice could be matched with human DNA. Only one third of substances known to cause cancer in humans have been shown to cause cancer in animals.

Toxicity is different in different species. The most commonly used species of monkey to test drug safety (Cynomolgous macaque monkeys), are resistant to doses of acetaminophen that would be deadly in humans. Chocolate, grapes, raisins, avocados, and macadamia nuts are harmless in people but toxic to dogs. Aspirin is toxic to many animals, including cats, mice, and rats and would not be available to humans if it had been tested per current animal testing standards.


A full 95% of drugs fail in human trials despite promising results in animal tests. Only 19% of dangerous drug side effects could have been predicted by animal tests. Over 115 million animals suffer in experiments globally each year, yet on average only 25 new medicines are approved annually by the leading drug regulator, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Many of these are for rare diseases. Even those drugs that are approved are not universally effective due to individual reactions: the top ten highest-grossing drugs in the USA only help between 1 in 4 and 1 in 25 people who take them. Of over 1,000 potential stroke treatments that had been ‘successful’ in animal tests, only approximately 10% progressed to human trials. None worked sufficiently well in humans.


Vioxx, a drug used to treat Arthritis, was found to be safe when tested in monkeys (and five other animal species) but has been estimated to have caused around 320,000 heart attacks and strokes and 140,000 deaths worldwide. A clinical trial of Hepatitis B drug fialuridine had to be stopped because it caused severe liver damage in seven patients, five of whom died. It had been tested on animals first.

Would the topic a history of and reasons for animal testing in medical research lab be acceptable for a 2 to 3 page paper?

The topic "a history of and reasons for animal testing in medical research lab" would be extremely too broad for a 2 to 3 page paper. You might scratch the surface in a 20-page paper, but you'd barely introduce the issues in a 2 to 3 page paper.In 2 to 3 pages, you could briefly and narrowly focus on topics like:Animal Testing for Medical Research Creates Unethical Treatment of AnimalsAnimal Testing for Medical Research Promotes Medical DiscoveriesAnimal Testing for Medical Research Stirs Strong Emotions in Everyday PersonsThe Beginnings of Animal Testing for Medical ResearchHow Animals Used in Animal for Medical Research Live Out their LivesSuffering and Death of Animals used in Animal Testing for Medical ResearchMedical Discoveries Possible through Animal Testing in Medical ResearchCountless Rats Don't Count During Animal Testing in Medical ResearchAnimal Testing in Medical Research Brings Big Bucks to Pharmaceutical (Drug) ManufacturersFido Fights for Life in Animal Testing for Medical Research

How do you make them strong?

Umm... What is "they" referring to? You really need to retype this question. If they is meaning animals, then animals get strong by eating and keeping within the habitat that they should be in. Even when moved from their habitat, animals can adapt to survive. Overall, animals need food, water, shelter, and space to survive and get strong. Make sure to give that to your pet if you have one!
