Week IDK Been a Long Time- Blog 17

Is it ethical to test on animals for human cures?


The picture above is sending the message that animal testing is not ethical. It states that testing on animals is like testing on humans and that a life is a life no matter whose it is.  Animals are grown in solitary and isolated cages for their whole life, while being prodded and experimented on constantly. PETA is a well known program against animal experimentation. Even if an animal is already dying, without a home or a danger to others in its community it is unethical.


This picture above is the counter to the first argument. Animal testing has saved human lives. It can be successful and as the ad states above, would you rather have an animal live instead of your daughter or another human? Yes, it may be cruel to animals if they are caged and tested, but it is better than letting loved ones die, because the value of animals are greater.  Animals are raised to be slaughtered and eaten all around the world. The only difference between this and experimentation is that it can produce cures. 

The big question is if you have the potential to find cures to diseases that kill humans, is it worth the cruel treatment of animals?
