Every day, we clean up the floor with cleanser. We take medicine when we are sick. We use body lotion in winter days. People use chemical products almost every day. Behind these, animals suffer painful medical testing in the laboratory. Researchers may put cleanser on animal’s skin to see if there any bad reaction on them. They may inject unfinished medicine into dogs and to observe their reaction. All these testing bring far too much unnecessary pain to the innocent animals. In simple words, animal research should not be accepted in any circumstances because it really violates animal’s rights.
At first, Animal biological research is morally wrong and is unacceptable under the theory of utilitarianism. According …show more content…
For instance, the laboratory researchers want have a testing on an eye-drop medicine to make sure that it is totally harmless to our body. While living human is not a choice for the dangerous and risky drug tests, having the tests on living animal would be the only choice. In order to protect human, we cannot avoid doing animal biological testing. However, animal biological research is no longer a must in today’s technology because there are alternatives to animal testing. According to the PETA (an organization of animal protection), the Wyss Institude has developed the “organs-on-chips” which contain human cells grown in a state-of-the-art system to imitate the structure and function of human organs. The organ chips are effectively works on many drug test and disease research (PETA, n.d.). That the researches may do testing on organ chips, instead of keep sacrificing the innocent animal. Moreover, there is a new technology called “human-patient simulator”. It can imitate the movement of breathe, scream, revolt or even die (PETA, n.d.). If the researcher applies too much “pain” to the robot, it will react with screaming sound or the face expression of suffering. Also, the body inside is full of realistic blood vein and blood flow. The simulator is a good choice for surgery practice and reaction tests. If these technologies can be used wisely, many animals’ life can be saved; pain can also be greatly
