Its the law ! all drugs have to be tested on animals before they can be tested on humans to make sure humans patients are given a safe dose of a drug pat feel safe and are more likely to trust medication if they know they have been test animals first.

I think animals should be used for testing purpose the reason behind is if we humans can make new drugs for curing more number of disease only then we can save the life of our parents, relatives, and animals obviously. Think smart doesn't be emotional.

If we think that animal should not be treated for testing then just think of our belongings dying in front of us and us humans unable to do anything to save their life. And remember at the time we the humans saves the life of an injured animal lying on the road by taking them to the nearest hospital. We provide food to them at times. We humans love animals that are the only reason we them pets.

Why not ? Animals should be used for testing new drugs before we test on human being. The human beings are more precious than animals. If we lose one animal it is not such a big loss as well loss a single person. It is the law of nature many animals eats other short animals for food and also human eat animals. It is natural and it is very necessary to test the drugs before testing on human being but before testing we should keep in mind that the species of animals which we are using are not going to vanish and the test is necessary.

I think that animals should be tested on. You could just test it on rats. I bet lots of you do not like rats. Rats breed very constantly, so then if you test on them you don't put anybodies lives in danger. Even if you were to kill a rat their would be more rats born in the world.

Hello friends.

If beauty and brain is the parameter for a successful person, then probably most of the people end their ambitions in lagging either of the one above said features. Beauty is god given, and brain is equally gifted and the power or intellectual capacity depends upon sociology-psychological factors along with training and learning capacity of the brain. One has to train the brain to get acquaintance with knowledge.

But beauty has nothing to do. Suppose if we have medical emergency where we can only see people suffering, at that time only the medical knowledge which a doctor possess is hailed rather than the beauty of that doctor serving, similar is the condition with all other profession in the world which only demands brain but not the beauty. It's just a hype to combine the beauty and brain as a perfect blend to create a success formula.

Often beauty can fade away by age or illness, but the knowledge gained increases with sharing and learning. So there exists the upper hand of brain on beauty in the real world. Only in the modeling and female dominated professions beauty with brain fares well. In all other fields, brain is enough to be a part of solution.

Hello everyone.

One point is very clear from the discussion is that killing for is not at all right. Who are we to take away the life of these innocent creatures. The next point arises is that what second option do we have. At present we don't have the solution for this problem. Using animals for drug test is inhuman but science has not evolved much that it can provide a solution. Soon may be a better option will be available to us.

Coming back to the point that animals should be used for testing drugs or not. I think if its the only option available then it should be done in a limited way. Humans are top in the food cycle and for surviving, depends on the lower rank animals. Its the natures rule. Hope, situation will change soon with a better option.

I think it is wrong to test the new medicines on animal because they are also a living being they also the full right to live as we humans have.

Hi friends.

Absolutely not There is no correlation between animals and humans and more often than not these so-called tests have proved wrong and many drugs have been taken off the market. Scientists will babble on in theory, but pinned down cannot positively give a good argument that animals should be tested for human medications.
