Should Animals be used for Testing New Drugs & Medical Procedures?

No, it should not. Because in 2010 97,123 animals suffered pain during testing drugs/medicines.

No, they should not. No animals should be forced to die its the same thing as killing a human being in my views it should not be here at all.

I think that animals should be allowed to have experimented. If we do not use animals then whom will we do with?

We should take proper knowledge of the acids we used for research of medicines.

We can use animals for testing drugs and medical procedure but we should also consider that we do not harm them anyway and proper care should be taken of them. So basically I think they should not be used for experiment which could cause animals any serious problem.

Animals make our life, our needs fulfil by them too, we should not forget that we are become healthy and strong by drinking milk of cows they help into agriculture for our crops that's why we should not trouble the animals or harm for are self or else any reason.

I don't think that it can be good to used animal for are self because we have done wrong for us we done misused of things from that we have make bad thinks which harm are self only so in that we should not disturbed or any harm to them which they suffered from us, in that they were very helpfull in our life this is eternal for our life.

As we know everything has it's pros and cons both. In the same way, testing drugs on animal also has it's pros and cons. When scientist prepares drugs they have to test it and animals are the best substitute of humans to test the drugs which can be used further for the treatment of humans, animals have similar cells of human body and we can see the results how actually drug is going to react but after testing drugs animals are killed and even sometimes reaction on animals is not the same as the reaction in humans so it is not always beneficial and accurate to test the drug. It will be good if scientists find another substitute for testing the drug so that there will be no need of killing animals after testing drugs on them.

First of all, without animal testing, there would be about 35% less humans in the world, and animal testing is alright because the animals used are easily replaced such as rats and birds. You must realize that humans consume over 80% more pigs, cattle, and chickens then animals that are used for testing.

Over 340 pigs are consumed for every one animal tested on. Though I admit that animals may have emotions and a consciousness, but you must remember without animal testing a lot of drugs, shampoos, toothpaste, and MANY other products you use every day you would not have. Also, you must remember that in testing dogs, cats, and other more domesticated animals are not used. Rats, birds, and rarely chimps (monkeys) are used for testing.

This is a quoted text.

We don't want to use animals, but we don't have any other options.

The most significant trend in modern research is the recognition that animals rarely serve as good models for the human body. Human clinical and epidemiological studies, human tissue- and cell-based research methods, cadavers, sophisticated high-fidelity human-patient simulators, and computational models have the potential to be more reliable, more precise, less expensive, and more humane alternatives to experiments on animals. Advanced microchips that use real human cells and tissues to construct fully functioning postage stamp size organs allow researchers to study diseases and also develop and test new drugs to treat them. Progressive scientists have used human brain cells to develop a model "microbrain", which can be used to study tumors, as well as artificial skin and bone marrow. We can now test skin irritation using reconstructed human tissues (e.g. MatTek's EpiDermTM), produce and test vaccines using human tissues, and perform pregnancy tests using blood samples instead of killing rabbits.

Experimentation using animals persists not because it's the best science but because of archaic habits, resistance to change, and a lack of outreach and education.
