Inhuman Experiments

To ensure a newly developed drug or surgical technique is safe, people think it should be tested on animals in the first place because to not cause any harm to society, it is considered to be immoral to use that drug or medicine on humans first. However, there are a considerable number of people who do not approve of testing these drugs on animals.
An issue is that medicines cannot be guaranteed to be safe just because they have been tested on animals. Because of the physiological differences between humans and other animals, the results of animal studies cannot be accurately extrapolated to humans, leaving us vulnerable to drugs that may have serious side effects. Additionally, humans have been significantly harmed because investigators were misled by the safety and efficacy profile of a new drug based on animal experiments. No matter how many tests on animals are undertaken, someone will always be the first human to be tested on.
Nevertheless, animal testing helped human life a lot. Research in cows helped create the world’s first vaccine, which in turn helped end smallpox. Studies with monkeys, dogs, and mice led to the polio vaccine. Drugs used to combat cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, hepatitis, and malaria would not have been possible without research with primates.
On the other hand, we force animals to endure pain for our benefit is unethical and inhuman. It’s funny how people who claim to be a superior race depend on other living things to survive. Experimentation using animals exists not because it is the best science, but because of old habits, resistance to change, and lack of outreach and education. Human clinical and epidemiological studies, human tissue and cell-based research methods, cadavers, complex high-fidelity human patient simulators, and computer models have the potential to become more reliable, precise, less expensive, and more humane alternatives to animal experiments.
Just because we’re human doesn’t mean it’s okay to make any living thing suffer for no reason. We need to be able to fulfill our own needs and pleasures on our own.
