Hi everyone, according to me if scientific experiments are done on human beings it will cost a life...as we all know that now a days science has created a lot of new medicines which cures cancer to AIDs at 1st stage...if those medicines are experimented on human life then it can create a huge problem..so it is better to experiment on the animals as we do not have any other option and if it is not experimented on animals we cannot rely that it can help human beings.. Thank you.

According to me no living being ( either man or animal ) should be used for drug testing . besides , Scientists must build some special device for testing a drug , scientists are working on various useless projects that should be stopped . Animals are speechless , this is not thier fault , god created them like that and because of that , various animals are suffering from death . As life is a god's gift , each and every living creatures have the right to live .

Animals should be used because there are more in quantity and they never die in some cases they die. If they use it on human then many people will die.

According to me animals should be used for new drugs testing because the animals such as rats,rabbits are used for testing of drugs which have no use and if a drug is being tested on animal the animal is not going to die.But if it is tested on a human the side effects are dangerous and a individual may die also.so I conclude that a human's life is more perecious than a animal,a human may do a new discovery tomorrow but a animal will not.

I think there is nothing wrong in conducting new tests on animals.In a way its helping to find new useful drugs which saves many peoples life....and even humans have hearts they don't conduct tests on all the animals ... they test it usually on smaller ones like rats which are of no use to this society except in spreading disease.... so if testing some drugs is saving precious human life then why not...almost 75% of humans are non vegetarians and they use animals for eating.. then if testing drugs on animals is helping medical science improve its definitely worth it:)

We cannot say "yes or no". There was two side. We believe that man is the best in God's creature. So we can use other animals for his own use. By using animals for testing new drugs and medicine helps the man to know if it has any other side effect. We believe that God create all other animals and plants for us. So we can use it our needs. If we have the power we use it anyway.

The other side is all the living things including man were the creatures of the God. We cannot have the right to kill any other animals. All has its own feelings.

Animals also a heart as a heart of human. If human have a pain as well as animals also have pain. They have also right to live freely in this world. Scientists should develop some other ways of testing products. And obviously there is too much of technology. We cannot do our experiments on animals. "apni jaan bachane ke liye kisi dusre hi jindagi ko chenana " its no a good idea. This is not a proper way of development.

Yes, as human beings cannot be get into testing directly we need to go for the animals. They are the speechless creatures what is going to be done with them but to invent some drugs for curing diseases we really need animals. I think it is a selfish human act for their survival sometimes some of them is for animals too. Human being is also an animal but he is master of all these animals. So, it will be through animal which can be used for testing newly invented drugs and medical procedures.

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.
