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

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 that animals have the right to live their life without people hurting them! think about it what if that was you would you want to be tested on? no? yes? well animals don't want to be tested on either! One day humans will be tested on and ill be laughing at all you haters that want animals to be in pain!

Yes I agree with the topic because in current situation there is no 2nd option to test until the another option is not develop, only this can use now.

As humanity yes its ashamed for all of us I agreed that but think that if our close relative is ill and doctors said this is the medicine but it is first time implement on your relative then we can't take that medicine.

And testing is test only on the living things for detran. I assure that our scientist should also make a new solution for this but until that is not. This is only solution we have.

Thanks.

- Why animals have to pay with their lives our human troubles?

- Is the animal an object? Why do we use their life's instead of us?

- Is an ethical activity to do research on animal?

- Christ try to leave a message when he freed animals. The message was Animals have to live in freedom. Is research on animals in contrast with Christ did?

- How do we know that companies are not exploiting animals without our knowledge, just for make more money?

- What about empathy?, what happens if we were the animals who have to be tested by other specie?

Well. If animals could speak they will not be willing to be experimented on them. As they cannot speak we are proceeding as we wish. Life for any creature is valuable thereby it's humans or animals. Science has advanced from ancient days but we are not able to find the alternative for problems like this.

We may justify ourselves saying that there is no second option but such activities are against humanity.

I agree and disagree if you family member did not take this medicine they will be dead, you as a person also take headache pills all the time and in life have been given medication and one of your family members and a friend takes medication if it wasn't for this they will be dead but testing it on animals it strictly wrong in any level because they also have lives and can feel pain just as we do.

No, animals should not be used for research. Why do we consider our own life precious than others? God has created us equally, then how can we even think animals inferior or their life worthless? The true spirit of one cannot accept the life given at the cost of other! Never! But remember that I am talking about true spirit, not a false one.

The animal is not valuable then the human. For saving the life of the human it is not a bad thing for test on animals. So according to me animal can be used for testing purpose only.

I think living things have right to live. But humans are more important than other creatures, and people are at the top of the creatures. So animals can be used for medical research when there is not another way, but it is much better to find alternatives for medical research on animals I am sure it is possible through technology development.

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.
