Using animals for
medical research is a very controversial topic. Scientists use animals to
discover new drugs and treatments. However, there are arguments both for and
against this practice.
One of the
arguments for using animals is that we can use then to discover new drugs, such
as the zebrafish, which is used in the research of regenerative medicine. Also,
the animals have long produced developments. Therefore, frogs have helped to
make pregnancy tests. In addition, all these experiments help people heal and
they improve operations, transplants and so on.
On the other hand,
animals are live beings and we deprive them of liberty. Also, some people say
that we shouldn’t allow scientists to use animals because they may die in order
to achieve results. Moreover, it is a cruel and dangerous practice for animals.
To sum up, I’m not
in favour of using animals because scientists use animals as objects. I believe
that if it continuous we should have stricter controls on research and
experiments.
