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

Animal Testing

  • 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.

      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.

      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.

  • what does honesty matter when the cause of ending human hegemony over animals is so important and just?

      Ca montre que l'expérimentation animale produit une pourcentage minimale de succès!
  • There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing,
  • Human beings share about 99% of their genes with chimpanzees and only slightly fewer with other monkeys. As a result, the reactions of these creatures are a very good guide to possible reactions of human patients. Even lower down the scale, other animals share the same basic physiology with humans. Furthermore, it would be immoral to risk the life of a human being when a medicine or procedure could instead be tested on a non-human animal. In fact, most animal experiments are done on animals that are nothing like hum
  • Scientifically, as well as morally, most animal experimentation is to be rejected - the reaction of a mouse to a substance is no guide to human reactions
  • The advent of genetic technologies has made possible all sorts of new and horrific acts of animal exploitation
  • t is only acceptable to test human medicines on human beings if they give their consent. Non-human animals are never able to give such consent

      "The advent of genetic technologies has made possible all sorts of new and horrific acts of animal exploitation" -Le fait que la technologie évolue continuellement est un bon point pour nous car il y a plusieurs méthodes ou les animaux ne doivent pas être mal traités!

      "There has been a catalogue of errors and failures in animal testing." -Le fait qu'il y a une très grand nombre de fautes dans l'expérimentation animale est un argument qui va caser tous ceux de l'autre équipe. Si vous voulez tester des médicament POUR les humains, tester-les SUR les humains, et non pas sur d'autres espèces qui vont réagir différemment!

    C'est une bonne outil pour les deux équipes qui sont en débat contre ou pour l'expérimentation animale.
