According to me, no living thing (either man or animal) used for testing. But here we have no option of testing. If scientists create a testing artificial it will be fine, unfortunately, we don't have any. So that we can use the mind dead patients who are waiting for their death. By giving some money to their families we can use those patients for drug testing. If the drug works, those brain dead patients may cure (hope for positive). Through that, we can save mankind and animals too.

It's not necessary. Because it is a human being. Somebodies treated it's also the human being. Definitely, we will develop the medical field for save people's life. At the same time, we do something for protection. We should protect animals life. That is one of the best act in India. They will also kill some animals for an invention. We can invent some medicines why we can't invent that medicines are the right thing to feed peoples without destroying animals life. "SO THINK IN BETTER WAYS TO SAVE ANIMALS, AT THE SAME TIME SAVE MEDICAL FIELD".

Human sacrifices their life in wars for their country so one dies so that others could live. Animals are tested to save humanity, you just can't be too emotional. In absence of other options we are left with no choice moreover as we know survival of fittest if no experimentations are done humans will get extinct.

New drugs should not be tested on animals because they are innocent. Instead of that test those medicines on terrorist and rapist.

In my opinion, animals can be used for testing. If animals are not tested, then people are going to struglle. If a drug need to be tested. If it goes wrong then people need to suffer.
And if people are so much concerned about animals. Then how can we eat chicken? chicken is also an animal and have equal rights to live right?

Absolutely not! Aren't animals living things like us? If we have got a more developed brain than them and can make advances in different fields does not mean we are superior to them. Why kill an animal to save a selfish human's life?
At least, animals are not like us. They know how to love unconditionally not like us who do everything just to satisfy our needs. Animals should never be used for testing new drugs because they are also inhabitants of this earth and they also deserve to be treated respectfully and live.

I think that testing animals for new drugs are acceptable. If we see it in an emotional manner it is obviously wrong. But we are not living in an era where people would travel on barefoot. We are far away from it. Technology has dominated. We are already adapted to it. So we must be a Roman while we in Rome.

Hi, I think the test should carry on with the animals. If emotionally we are considering it wrong then half of the people wouldn't have survived. We live in an era where every day a new disease is founded and to cure them medicine is required and we can only have medicine if it successfully tested. If not on animals then where to test it?
