Pro Animal TestingAnimal testing has become an important contribution in the medical field in order to find new treatments, develop new drugs and improve existing ones, as well as testing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. drugs. The development of some drugs depends on animal research, for example vaccines and insulin for diabetes and kidney transplants. However, there are many diseases for which cures have not yet been discovered, and one of them is AIDS (Tanir, 2012). Frankie L. Trull once said in his article on animal testing: Research has saved many human lives: “…the fight against cancer has seen 24 significant biomedical advances in the past 30 years. None of them could have happened without animal research. Therefore, this article will discuss the importance of animal testing as well as how it plays its role in the medical field. The breakthrough in the medical field Research on animals has been carried out since the ancient Greeks in order to advance human knowledge. Animal testing has played a role in many major medical advances, including the development of antibiotics, vaccines, and surgical techniques. According to McGuire, animal testing helped provide "antibiotics and vaccines, insulin for diabetes, treatments for leukemia, and made possible advances in medical technology such as blood transfusion, kidney dialysis and the heart-lung machine” (“Animal Experiments”). It is therefore important to continue research on animals because there is no other living being that can be used to conduct experiments that has a living system similar to that of humans. Cell culture experiments have produced inaccurate results compared to animal tests. Other than that, they cannot stimulate the muscles, blood or organs that are used by himpanzees in AIDS vaccine research.
