I am against it 100% Why: Because I consider humans and Животные equal. It is not like one или two mice will cure cancer, it takes hundreds of Животные to make any progress. Even then, it must be retested many times. There are many pharmaceutical drugs which had been deemed безопасно, сейф for human use after extensive animal testing, but which were later found to cause serious side effects. Over 100 million Животные are burned, crippled, poisoned and abused in U.S. labs every year. Not just mice and rats are used. Shelter Собаки and cats, rabbits, apes, monkeys, sheep, and many other Животные are killed in labs, sometimes even people's Остаться в живых pets. Nine out of ten drugs that appear promising in animal studies go on to fail in human clinical trials. Reliance on animal experimentation can impede and delay discovery. Forward-thinking scientists have developed humane, modern, and effective non-animal research methods, including human-based microdosing, in vitro technology, human-patient simulators, and sophisticated computer modeling, that are cheaper, faster, and еще accurate than animal tests. The Еда and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans. Animal experiments prolong the suffering of people waiting for effective cures by misleading experimenters and squandering precious money, time, and resources that could have been spent on human-relevant research. The world doesn’t need another eyeliner, hand soap, Еда ingredient, drug for erectile dysfunction, или pesticide so badly that it should come at the expense of animals’ lives. Through taxes, donations, and private funding, Americans have spent almost $200 billion on cancer research since 1971. However, еще than 500,000 Americans die of cancer every year, a 73 percent increase in the death rate since the “war” began. The only U.S. law that governs the use of Животные in laboratories—the Animal Welfare Act—allows Животные to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, forcibly restrained, addicted to drugs, and brain-damaged. No experiment, no matter how painful или trivial, is prohibited – and pain-killers are not even required. Even when alternatives to the use of Животные are available, the law does not require that they be used—and often they aren’t. Because the Act specifically excludes rats, mice, birds and cold-blooded animals, еще than 95 percent of the Животные used in laboratories are not subject to the minimal protections provided by federal laws. Because they are not protected by the law, experimenters don’t even have to provide mice and rats with pain relief. If Ты are for it или not sure, then I suggest Ты read Animal Liberation by Peter Singer and Ты can save the Animals. These Книги tell Ты about really happens.
