    Why is animal testing so important. Advancement in our medical field. Great for our points.

Testing scientific animal

  • Animals not only react differently than humans to different drugs, vaccines, and experiments, they also react differently from one another. Ignoring this difference has been and continues to be very costly to human health.
  • Thalidomide tragedy of the 1960s and 1970s
  • Clioquinol

      Les deux exemples en haut sont deux évènements très tragiques qui se sont arrivées ou les médicaments ont été expérimentés sur les animaux et tout été correcte. Cependant, quand les humains l'on essayé, cela a causé beaucoup de complications!

  • the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that 100,000 people every year are killed and more than 2 million are hospitalized as a result of prescription drugs used as prescribed
  • The British Medical Journal recently reported that 4 out of every 10 patients who take a prescribed drug can expect to suffer severe or noticeable side effects, while numerous clinical observers agree that the incidence of iatrogenesis (medically induced disease) is now so great that approximately 1 in every 10 hospital beds is occupied by a patient who has been made ill by their doctor.
  • Human medicine can no longer be based on veterinary medicine
  • There are endless examples of the differences between humans and non-human animals. PCP is a sedative for chimps Penicillin kills cats and guinea pigs but has saved many human lives. Arsenic is not poisonous to rats, mice, or sheep. Morphine is a sedative for humans but is a stimulant for cats, goats, and horses. Digitalis while dangerously raising blood pressure in dogs continues to save countless cardiac patients by lowering heart rate.

      Les 5 exemples en haut sont essentiel pour notre argument. Ca montre que les tests devraient être faites sur le humains pour voir 100% les effets que les médicaments vont avoir sur NOTRE espèce et non pas une autre.
  • Animal research is not aiding the fight against cancer. In fact, it is diverting resources from effective research and from the most obvious solution which is prevention
  • According to the National Cancer Institute, 80% of all cancers are preventable.

      C'est une excellente site pour décrire scientifiquement que l'expérimentation animale n'aide pas les humains, et au contraire nous endommage. À la fin, il y a un liste de 5 exemples de différences entre les humain et les "non-humains". Je pense que ça résume bien l'idée de l'article qui finalement veut prouver avec beaucoup de statistiques (en jaune) que les expérimentation sur les animaux sont faux non pas seulement parce que les humains réagissent différemment des animaux aux médicaments mais aussi parce que les animaux réagissent les unes aux autres différemment!

    C'est un lien qui donne des grands points pour l'argument CONTRE l'expérimentation animale pour des raisons médicales

      Here are some pro we can use as rebuttle
  • but also animal lives are saved because of animal testing.
  • Many of the medications and procedures that we currently use today wouldn’t exist
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Many argue that the lives of animals may be worthy of some respect, but the value we give on their lives does not count as much as the value we give to human life.
  • lifesaving medical breakthroughs that are the result of animal testing
  • open heart surgery, organ transplants, effective insulin, vaccines for deadly diseases

    Testing on animals brought so much for human health that i should be allowed. Some great rebuttle points we can use.

How Much Does Animal Testing Tell Us? - TIME - 1 views

  • Not a week goes by without news of a lab breakthrough using rats or mice. But of all the promising medical interventions that make it to animal trials, only a fraction seem to translate into major breakthroughs for humans.

      Ces projets peuvent conduire à nulle part. Tester sur des animaux et ne pas obtenir des résultats est absurde.
