Scientific Argument Against Animal Testing - 1 views

  • 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!

      we can use this sentence as an example to diseases that have been cured with the help of animal testing.
  • helped in the refinement of procedures
  • But it usually starts to make more sense when someone in the family or you yourself start suffering from a life-threatening disease.

Legal Torture? - CBS News - 0 views

    In this article we see how Alan Dershowitz is fighting to use torture when it is severely needed in our society. He uses the example of a terrorist hiding a ticking bomb. In this example, applying torture can save hundreds of innocent civilians.

      This is an example of utilitarianism and why it SHOULD be used: to save a whole mass of people versus one terrorist.
  • In the ultimate hypothetical case, if a terrorist with hard intelligence about an impending large-scale terrorist strike could be broken by torture, shouldn't it be used?

Pro-Testing Group Backs Oxford Animal Research Lab : NPR - 0 views

  • it's so obvious to most people that there are benefits from animal experiments, and those who might speak out, that is people who actually do work in animal research, have, quite rightly, been very worried about whether they were putting themselves and their families at risk.
  • But Stein says despite that, he and others have finally decided they must speak out. He points out that penicillin was first isolated at Oxford, tested on 20 mice in a lab just near his. Vaccines have been developed here too that have saved millions of lives, he says. Oxford scientists are now working on a cure for malaria. All have involved testing on animals.

      Here we can see that Oxford has found medication by testing it on animals which is necessary so that humans can take it as well.

    Here is a very well reliable website. Even though most of the information is not so beneficial for my group (pro), there is still some small examples and points that can help us along the way.

  • While it is true that medical researchers have developed some alternatives to animal use in recent years, such as computer simulation and the use of human-cell lines, these tools are merely useful supplements and complements - not replacements - to research with animals.
    • Elior Yona
       
      This is a very good point for my group. Here we can clearly see that other forms of medical and scientifical testing can never be seen as replacements.
  • prevent a pandemic
  • As a result of these animal studies, WHO researchers have announced that the coronavirus is, without a doubt, the cause of SARS.
    • Elior Yona
       
      Obviously, since the scientists didn't even know what caused SARS, testing on animals let them figure this out. With an epidemic like SARS you can save millions, and this was the case.

Active euthanasia versus passive euthanasia - India News - IBNLive - 0 views

  • You cannot prosecute someone for failing to save a life
    • naomi suissa
       
      Ce fait, selon moi, est très important, fort et intéressant en discutant l'euthanasie passive car il a un lien à l'acte de sauver une vie.
  • Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill a person such as with lethal injection given to a person with terminal cancer who is in terrible agony. Passive euthanasia entails withholding of medical treatment for continuance of life
  • Voluntary euthanasia is where the consent is taken from the patient, whereas non voluntary euthanasia is where the consent is unavailable
    • naomi suissa
       
      Avec les définitions données par ce site, nous pouvons plus facilement comprendre le sujet et trouver de très bonnes exemples. La bonne compréhension nous donne aussi l'opportunité d'utiliser la logique de la définition comme un point en se défendant!

  • in active euthanasia, something is done to end the patient's life' while in passive euthanasia, something is not done that would have preserved the patient's life.

Animal testing should always be allowed! - 1 views

      Here are some pro we can use as rebuttle
  • but also animal lives are saved because of animal testing.

  • 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.

Considering the pros and cons of "torture" » Columns » Rush... - 3 views

  • But just for the sake of discussion, let’s bring the whole issue closer to home. Suppose your son or your daughter is, for some reason, the target of kidnappers and that they’ve put your child in a hidden location with a bomb scheduled to go off if you don’t pay them a million dollars. Now, suppose you have one of the kidnappers in custody. What would you be willing to do, assuming you couldn’t get the money, to find out where your child was being held and get him or her away from the bomb? Whoops, you can’t slap the kidnapper! That would be torture! You can’t even threaten to shoot him if he doesn’t tell you what you need to know! Again, that would be torture! Do you think you might be inclined to take whatever action necessary to save your child? Or would you let your child die to avoid torture? The world is, and always has been, a vicious place and its fine and grand and noble to talk about never using torture or the threat of torture – in the abstract. I would contend, however, that if the life of your child or your spouse or your best friend was on the line, you might not look on a slap as the unlawful infliction of severe physical pain in quite the same light. In the abstract, we can call it torture. When the lives of loved ones are at stake, I submit that being slapped around seems relatively mild – but I could be wrong.
