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.

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.

- 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?

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.

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!

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.

We have to ask ourselves the question, if it is justified to test new drugs on human beings or not. The answer to this question will answer today's topic.

I support this. Don't you kill and eat animals when they have the right to live. Eating them benefits only one person, but experimenting on them benefits humanity.

As breeding is easy, we can breed the animals with the similar functioning of the human system and use a few for experiments. To support this, we even kill and eat animals for our own pleasure which would be better for mankind when experimented. It has already been successful.

I think its a ruthless way. The greatness and efficiency of any experiment lies not only in how efficiently its carried out but also how ethically its approached. Since science and technology is taking shape day by day, I hope man can definitely find out a way to work in an alternate method. I never understand why people fail to understand that animals too have something called emotions. Just because they are superior to man doesn't mean they have to be sacrificed for the development of human society. I agree its not advisable to set human life under risk, but a point can be made out that these experiments can be conducted on prisoners who are kept in prisons to be executed.
