do you agree with experiments on animals in laboratories?

Answer 1

NO
i don't think it even does much good
different species have different things that help and hurt them
people eat chocolate, yet it's poison for many animals
something that cured cancer in a mouse killed a rat

there has to be better ways then hurting animals that have done nothing wrong

Answer 2

Yes I do as long as there are some kind of beneficial aspects coming from it. For the people who think we shouldn't, how do you think we have learned a LOT of the medical knowledge we have today. They aren't using animals to be cruel, its so they can save human lives and learn about certain diseases and disorders. One of the labs in my college, they use rats for their research and they do a lot of stuff on diabetes. Hopefully to provide more information that might help provide better treatments or a cure. I don't understand why you wouldn't want that for other people, which potentially might be your relatives, family members, or one day your children. If there was a way to find out just as much information, treatments, and cures without doing it on animals then I will stand by you but that isn't the case. Until that day come then will have to do tests on animals to better understand things or you can step up and take the animals place. I think it is hypocritical because chances are most of the procedures and medicines you'll have/take when you are older that will probably save your life probably came from some sort of animal experiements

Answer 3

I agree with most of them. I have issues with groups like PETA who show the small percent of "experiments" in which people purposefully abuse animals.

As a biologist, I must say that, without animal experimentation, our society would not be as far advanced as it is. We would not have half the food products, much less drug and pharmaceutical products, if it weren't for animal testing.

Answer 4

depends on the animal, but I think that experimenting animals in laboratories is domestic violence. They arrest people when they test something on an animal, no matter what the animal, but they dont arrest scientists who conduct experiments on animals and eventually kill them half the time.
SO, basically the answer is NO.
But if to save the human race and everything that revolves around it, maybe maybe maybe YES.

Answer 5

in my opinion it depends on the type of experiment. if you are harming the animal then no. but if your just seeing how fast a mouse can go through a maze to get a piece of cheese or something like that then i don't see a problem.

Answer 6

Would you have an operation to save your life by a surgeon who had only done "virtual" operations? Or would you prefer to have someone with real life experience?

Answer 7

i think experimenting on humans has more value if the medicens are for humans
