Firstly, animal testing is the way to save other lives. In order to develop medicines, it is necessary to check whether the material discovered or produced by scientists has any medical value or side effects. And because theory alone is almost impossible to predict, experiments are needed on animals with genes similar to human genes. The following cases can be the grounds for my argument. Vaccines for deadly diseases such as polio, tuberculosis, and measles were all developed through animal testing. Without animal testing, mankind would still suffer from these diseases. So, using animals in disease research is essential to verify the stability of new medicines.
Secondly, for now, animal testing is the most realistic alternative option. Many alternatives to animal testing are currently being tried because there are no ethical problems. However, computer simulations cannot perfectly reproduce the toxicity and fatal side effects of certain chemicals. An experimental animal rese
archer at the National Academy of Sciences said that sophisticated computers cannot accurately reproduce the interactions between molecules, cells, biological tissues, organs, and interactions between organisms and the environment, so living animals should be studied. There is also a limit to the use of cultured cells. Intercellular Response Considering the current situation in which information about metabolism or reaction actions in the human body has not been clearly revealed, the results of the study through the background cells cannot be trusted. Therefore, animal testing is the best way to develop medicine at present. Furthermore, animal testing is the easiest and fastest way to prove the validity of the research process. So, the ban on animal testing does not make sense because animals have a shorter generation gap than humans, which can significantly reduce the time spent on research, and the sooner they are studied, the more lives they can save.
