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

Animals are also the living things, Should find another way for testing.

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.

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?

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

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.
