Should animals be used for medical research?

I think that it's wrong since they can do a lot of other things to test medicine. They can make pieces of skin without using real skin. Science has come far and there are alternatives.

But it's more expensive so most companies don't want to I think it isn't right ,however sometimes it has to be done:( I am for that. I would want items tested on animals before humans. Animals are not equal to humans.

The idea that we can not use them for research is appalling to me. It cheapens the value of us as a species Personally I wish it wasn't so, but as far as I know they don't have alternatives other than humans themselves which isn't always permitted Personally I feel that people should volunteer to do it despite the risks, as were more capable of communicating pain and side effects, of course some medical research is real raw and would undoubtedly kill but I still belive people would volunteer. I expect theres wide opinion on this question so keep an eye on the discussions board!

X As stated earlier personaly I wish it wasnt done however with that said I can understand that testing af drugs procedures e.t. C gets done with animals. And saves more animals and peoples lives then are lost.

However I think it is absolutely wrong for cosmetics and similar vanity rubish to be tested on animals.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
