First, humans and rats/mice are both warm blooded, give birth to living young, and both react similarly to infection and disease. 80% of humans genes have identical counterparts as rats’ genes. In 2010, researchers at McGill University and the University of British Columbia in Canada found that mice subjected to moderate pain “grimace” (which is a facial expression) just like humans. Animal testing is reliable. No other living thing on Earth has the closest anatomical structure as humans than animals. The human body is very complex and studying cell structures in a petri dish cannot provide as sufficient or effective results than animal testing. And computer models? They would require accurate information gathered from animal research In conclusion, there are other ways to gather information other than animal testing but they are less reliable and more costly. Animal testing is the best solution to our medical complications. It is the only ethical way to find answers for our
