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

"Animals have the right to be treated as beings of value in themselves" -L'égalité!!!! C'est une bonne valeur pour l'argumentation. Besoin de plus de statistiques...

"Millions of animals die each year in experiments, others are often not adequately anaesthetised and are abused by handlers and experimenters" -C'est LE point le plus concrète du débat CONTRE l'expérimentation animale. Besoin de faits avec sources, par contre.

"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!

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.

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!

Torture in Interrogation: Debatabase - Debate Topics and Debate Motions - 3 views

he Geneva Conventions do not apply to interrogation of terrorists and suspected terrorists held by U.S. soldiers because they are not prisoners of war. They are illegal, enemy combatants, not subject to such protection.

The fact that the Geneva Conventions do not apply in the interrogation of terrorists is a big PRO!

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.

La plupart de l'article est pour le groupe de Hagit et Marie-Lise mais il y a des bonnes points pour le coté "pour" (notre côté) aussi!
