I have to do a paper on school about controversial issues and I chose animal testing. I think there are a lot of people out there who are ok with animal testing but they know near nothing about it. I would like to know what other people think about animal testing and if you are for or against it.

I read this article and thought it was pretty good. it explains why Pro-Testers (name for those who support animal testing) will never win this debate. It shows three areas where they need to prove a point ...
1. They need to win the scientific debate: animal research must provide results that can reliably be applied to human beings.
2. They need to win the moral debate: there must be no serious moral objection to animal testing.
3. They need to win the funding debate: animal research needs to be a reasonable use of available funds, especially when those monies are being contributed by taxpayers.
i think it could be a useful resource for your article.

I am against it!!! Animals are not here to be abused and tortured, it is an unethical thing to do, I only use products that have not been tested on animals and I have been doing this for 10 years now, these products are as good or better than the ones that have used testing. Procter and Gamble is a company who always uses animals in their testing and I have no respect for them. I apologize for going on, but this subject just gets me going. To learn more about vivesection go to a PETA website and you will see what happens to these poor little animals, it made me cry!

The very same as animal eating.... I am an angry gun toting meat eating American Libertarian... There is nothing cruel about sacrificing a few animals (in testing) to save the lives of millions of humans. In your paper, point out the very small percentage of our population that are vegetarians, the only group that can legitimately and morally protest animal testing.

It is a necessary evil. Drugs must be tested on animals before it can even be approved of testing on humans.It should be done in a pain free and humane method. So many medical advances have been made through animal testing. Unfortunately most of these animals would have been euthanized any way. I don't understand why people have a "cow" about animals dieing but it is OK to murder babies. I would much prefer that medical testing take place on convicted murders that are guilty without a doubt.

Totally unethical. I have cut many products out of my life that do animal testing. I did a paper on that so many yearsc ago. And I was against it then. Sometimes it's difficult to find products that don't test on animals, but with places like the body shop and Whole foods, you can live a very animal friendly life!

It depends upon what they are being tested for. If they are being tested with a specific goal in mind, such as a cure or immunization for something which plagues mankind, I am all for it. If they are being tested for gee whiz, what if, or I wonder why, then I am against it.
I think before any testing is done there should be some research
done to indicate that these tests will have some merit toward a predetermined goal.

Breed and propagate animals at a proliferate rate. Test any and all products on them. Perfect the process before beginning testing on humans.

the following contained in the united kingdom about 5 years in the past we had a disastrous drug trial which left various youthful adult males struggling with for his or her lives. The drug in question had gone through animal checks and had exceeded and became therefore deemed waiting for trials on human topics. The druig led to different organ failure and has resulted in everlasting incapacity in truly some the members. in my opinion, this situation in reality served to concentration on the ineffectiveness of animal attempting out. there are assorted checks accessible that could try drugs and cosmetics on human tissues before they are examined on stay human beings. i have self belief it truly is the way ahead. Animal checks are merciless, unnecessary and in various cases ineffective. they could be banned.

That is a very wrong thing to do. Animals have done so much for us over the years. Where would we be without the serch dogs of 9/11? it would be really rude to give back to them by testing all sorts of producs on them. Thats only one exaple of what animals do for us.

I don't support animal testing for items such as mascara and hair coloring products.
I do support animal testing that helps perfect medical treatment -- and perhaps even CURES -- for AIDs, cancer, CF, MD, etc.
