Animal testing is probably one of the most debatable topics of medicine today. It has been used for over a century and a half, and it still continues to expand its usage more and more every year. Although banned in some countries, statistics of others are terrifying, making us question whether it is or it isn’t the right choice when it comes to using innocent animals for research purposes. First of all, animals do not choose to be in a lab. They do not get to choose to be treated like they are, and definitely do not choose to be manipulated by us, humans. Scientists are trying out cosmetics on them, as well as newly developed medicines for different diseases. They examine their possible side effects, which is logically for them a better choice

As well as humans benefited from it, animals benefited from it too. Because of the exact sacrifice of that one creature that lives for only a couple of years, presumably hundreds and millions of human and animal lives are saved to this day. Cures for many diseases would have not be in use if it wasn’t for the previous test on animals. Only, it’s not just one creature, it is an enormous number of animals of different species, mostly mice, rats and birds. Despite of this fact, we can not set aside the huge impact on the health of our whole humankind, all around the world. Experimentation, researches and examination are the main things that keeps science finding the way out of all the problems. A small part of me approves this technique only because in the previous centuries the medicine was still not as developed as it is today, so this was the most efficient and practical solution which was in everyone’s favor. But, we have gotten so far, medicine has developed so much that we could easily find other ways of examination, especially with cosmetics which according to me have the least justification for harming. Either technologically, or any other way possible, scientists could find a better solution to this that would suit
