What are your views on Medical experiments done on animals?

Answer 1

Words can't desribe how wrong it is to allow it. IVF for example when not only do mass numbers of animals such as pigs, hamsters etc have to endure the painful precess of IVF drugs. They also have to endure a forced pregnancy. They are then murdered upon their young reaching a certain age in utero. The young are then murdered & weighed etc. So many animals, as pregnancies are often high order multiples. The suffering is catastrophic. And all because humans have an inbuilt need to reproduce. Nothing more, it won't improve our species. Actually it's against nature as it may keep a population going that nature may have marked as unhealthy gene wise. That's just one example, there are endless more much worse.

By fact we are still only animals ourselves. But we are not whichever species are experimented on, when they are not human too, so the results can't be reliable. Though may be acurate in some respects they can't be used alone. So there's no point + scientists will have already gained the knowledge they need to from animals by now. So it is pointless. The only valid way is to use human patients in need of the drugs as case studies. That way at least they may get the benefits before it's too late. There would be endless volunteers, if only it were allowed. To sacrifice the healthy of any species, is holding a lot of faith in something. As one who is not spiritual I find it absurd. It's against humanity, we have a duty to prevent suffering to all species, not cause it. Humans will never go extinct because of cancer etc. The research is by far a waste. Using it may in part actually cause more diseases. When humans mess about with nature, they tend to just create more problems CJD, bird flu etc.

Answer 2

It's still murder. They do suffer, no matter how much they may try to ensure they don't, often giving the animal drugs to stop them suffering could make the results invalid. So don't think it's less painfull because it's not. Sometimes drugs are given to just stop them squirming & paralizing them, so they are not even able to show their pain. It's disgusting. Animals may not know that death will mean the end of their existance, but unfortunately they are very aware of what pain is. This barbaric society has no right to even take the animals lives, let alone make them endure such suffering. I don't care what excuse is given. We have a duty to care about animals, we should not breed them in such huge numbers & then murder them. Humans are at the end of the day animals too. But we have been given the oportunity of ending pain. I'm sory but doing these experiments will not end pain. Nature will just come up with another disease to cut our numbers down. I don't put my faith in scientists like they are gods. They are only human & make huge mistakes like inventing animal & embryo experimentation, abortion etc all things that are clearly murder. Murder creates a cycle of hate, reprisals, depression & even murder, so it's not good & should be banned in any form. If humans didn't have such ill intent, such as a lust for meat=murder, they may be able to see with a clearer head the wrongs they do. Humans do not need to eat animals. They started off herbivores & over time have become more & more destructive. They think they have the right to do as they want, just because they can. But I hope it backfires on them in the end, I truly do.

Answer 3

It's wrong just because animals don't know dead is forever that doesn't make it right to murder them.

Kill cancer & nature will just come up with something else to keep the human population under control. Experimenting on animals is also useless as they are not human. So the results will only benefit their species.

So then we come back to human embryo testing, which goes on anyway & humans murder innocent humans too. It's sickening people just go by looks. Because they can't see a human form, they are so in love with, they asume it's not there. If embryo looked like what we are in love with, it would not be allowed. To have a view of the human form covered by fat or not visible, makes them disgusted & see you as less worthy. We know a human is made upon conception all they have left to do is grow. So it's obvious they are human. No one can own a human. It shouldn't be allowed, like many things that go on here. Except this is something society could easily stop. But won't because scientists are their 'gods'.

To test on animals or even 'built humans' as in embryo or foetus is clearly wrong. It's murder, but humans are too imature & will make many mistakes before they learn to love themself from the beginning. If they realy cared where they came from, they would not destroy them so readily.

Answer 4

Considering all the protections that are in place to make sure that the animals suffer as little as possible and that the research is worthwhile (the beloved IRB), I'm all for it. There is some research that shouldn't be done on animals because it's crappy research, but if it's important and teaches us something about our world, I'm all for it. Research involving animals has saved at least one life (gross underestimation), so put it this way- how many white rats would you kill to save the person you hold dearest?

Answer 5

Better stuff like lab rats than humans. Plus, you can't just take someone to do it to. You'd need like a condemned prisoner or a volunteer who's probably gonna die of some disease before too long anyways who's got nothing to lose. Animals are easier to do. Of course, that doesn't make it any more humane. You just gotta hope the ends make up for the not-so-nice means to get there.

Answer 6

It may not be a popular view, but if causing cancer in a lab rat helps someone to find a cure for the cancers that run in my family, I'm all for it.

Answer 7

A very painful but needed step. So, much as I suffer (when they suffer), I support it and will not ban the experiments.

Answer 8

It is better than doing it on humans.

It is also better than eating animals !

Answer 9

Rather them than me!

Answer 10

I'm on their favor...
or let animals live 'n people die!
