The ethical considerations surrounding the use of animal testing in science and medical.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I feel good about our central idea. Our central idea relates to our topic and it actually talks about scientists and how their research impact our lives in the future.

2. Im interested in the first line of inquiry which is how has the on going use of animal testing influenced the development of science and medicine. Im interested in this line of inquiry because I really want to know this questions answer.

3. Our research questions is open-minded because we actually think and took out time to get these research questions.

4. The most challenging part was how to make our own central idea which took us 2 days and we thought of it really good and that’s how we overcome it.

5. I will improve next week by collaborating more with my teammates and I will try communicating more with my mentor like asking some question and more.

1. I am confident about our central idea, I think it relates to our topic for PYPX, if I could change anything to make it stronger I would make it like this “The use of animals in scientific research plays an important role in developing new medicines and treatments and raises serious ethical concerns about animal rights and the responsibility humans have in making decisions that impact both science and living creatures”.

2. I am most interested in my line of inquiry “How has the on going use of animal testing influenced the development of science and medicine. I am most interested in this line of inquiry because it talks about development of science and medicine.

3. To make our research questions more open ended we asked websites for questions and changed it into our own words and research, we also communicated about what we know and what we want to know and made it into a research question.

4. For me the most challenging part about this project was making our research questions and lines of inquiry, this part of our project was very challenging to do as it took a lot of research.

5. For this week I could improve on my communication skills with my teammate and my research skills as we have our meeting with our mentor next Monday (April 21st)

An animal test is when a live animal is used in an experiment that could cause pain, suffering, stress, or long-term harm. These tests are often done to study diseases, test new medicines, or check the safety of products. While the goal is to help improve human health or science, these tests raise important concerns about how animals are treated. Many people debate whether the benefits of these tests are worth the harm they may cause to animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Animal tests are used to check if things like medicines, chemicals, and cosmetics are safe. They help researchers understand how these products might affect humans or the environment. For example, tests can show if a new drug is safe or if a cleaning product is harmful. However, these tests can hurt animals, which raises questions about whether they are needed or fair.

# data[].attributes.body
For many years, animal testing was the primary method for ensuring the safety of products. However, in the 1980s, new alternative testing methods were developed that did not involve animals. These advancements led to a significant reduction in the number of animals used for cosmetic testing, cutting the figure by 90%.

1. I am confident about our central idea though I could practice it a bit more.

I think our central idea relates to our topic for PYPX, I think its a strong central idea and I don’t have anything I would like to change.

2. I like our second line of inquiry (which Maria made) since it talks about ethics and science.

3. We created question that required to our research and not just yes. and no answers.

4. I think the hardest part was sending the emails because if there is a mistake in our email the people will not respond to our email.

UAE questions

What animal does the UAE use to test on?

The UAE use these animals to test on baboons, cats, cows, dogs, ferrets, fish, frogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, llamas, mice, monkeys (such as marmosets and macaques), owls, pigs, quail, rabbits, rats and sheep.

What happens to the animals after when they get tested?

After an experiment, animals are usually killed so scientists can study their organs and tissues. Sometimes, the same animals are used in several experiments over many years to gather more data.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I found out that some animals that are tested on when they are pregnant or in labor, than their babies come out deformed and they lose a lot of their blood.

2. I have just came back from showcasing our survey to G4A, many results were not sure of what animals are tested with and on, I also found out they don’t know why they are tested on. With this information I will include it in my canva to present to the school.

3. For me it was hard getting responses, (still awaiting) proper organizations that used to animal test or from animal testing labs. Most companies that animal test are multi-millionaire companies so it is hard to get a proper meeting with them.

4. I found out how many companies that are my daily use animal test and how many animals get deformed from these tests which can affect animals life horribly. They get stuck in machines, labs, chemicals and even cages.

5. My communication skills with my teammates helped us get through a lot of work, my thinking skills helped me do a lot of research, our open minded skills gave us many different opportunities and lastly our balanced skills helped us work through research, emails and even a website.

This week we made more progress and even had our first mentor meeting

1. The new information that surprised me was that there are 50 beauty brands in the UAE still dl animal testing and I thought they will be only less than 40 brands.

2. Creating a survey helped me know how people feel about animal testing and and what’s their understanding about this topic.

3. The challenges that we faced while we were organizing the trip was who’s Parents is going to come with us so they can takes us to the place that we are going to or if we are going in the taxi which adult will stay with us and guide us like where to go.

4. We didn’t interview anyone yet but I think it will help us understand more thing about our topic

5. I user my Communication skills are my thinking skills I used them because this is a communication project.

UAE

1.How does the UAE use animal testing in scientific and medical research today?

In the UAE, animal testing is used in labs for medical research, studying diseases, and teaching in universities. It is controlled by strict rules to protect animals, and scientists must get approval before doing any tests. The UAE is also using new technology to reduce animal testing and make research more accurate and ethical.

2) What rules or laws does the UAE have to make sure animal testing is ethical and accurate?

In the UAE, animal testing is regulated to ensure ethical treatment. Federal Law No. 16 of 2007 protects animals used in research, following international principles like the 3Rs: Replace, Reduce, and Refine. Researchers are encouraged to use alternatives like computer models or cell cultures to minimize animal use. The law aims to balance scientific progress with humane treatment of animals.

3) How is the UAE using modern technology (like AI or 3D-printed organs) to reduce animal testing?

The UAE is reducing animal testing by using modern technologies like AI to predict drug effects, 3D-printed human tissues for safer testing, and organs-on-a-chip that act like real human organs. These methods help scientists test products without harming animals.

4. How do people in the UAE feel about animal testing compared to other parts of the world?

People in the UAE are becoming more concerned about animal testing and are starting to support cruelty-free products and modern alternatives like AI and lab-grown tissues. While this shift is growing, it's not as advanced as in regions like Europe, where animal testing bans are stronger. Still, the UAE is making progress by investing in ethical research and raising awareness about animal welfare.

5). What role does the UAE play in supporting accurate and ethical testing methods in the Middle East and globally?

The UAE supports accurate and ethical testing methods by enforcing strict regulations on animal testing, promoting alternative methods like in vitro testing, and collaborating with global organizations. It invests in research and innovation, supports ethical guidelines through committees, and raises awareness about reducing animal testing in scientific practices.

1. How similar are animals and humans when it comes to body systems?

Although animals and humans may look different, they are quite similar at a physiological and anatomical level.

Many animals have organ systems (heart, lungs, etc.) and organ systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems, etc.).

2. Why do scientists use animals to predict what will happen in humans?

Animal testing is widely used to aid in research of human disease when human experimentationwould be unfeasible or unethical.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_testing

3. Are animals always a good match for testing human medicine?

ADME processes (Absorbtion, distribution, metabolism, excretion) are different in animals and humans. Therefore even thought the animal’s bodily functions might e very similar to to humans, the chemical won’t always react in the same way.

Animal Testing - Pro Quotes | Britannica

4. 1. Thalidomide – Safe in animals, caused birth defects in humans.

2. Vioxx – Seemed safe in animals, led to heart attacks in people.

3. Benzene – Didn’t cause cancer in animals, but did in humans.

4. Paxil – Looked safe in animals, increased suicide risk in teens.

5. Cancer drugs – Often work in mice but fail in human trials.  These show that animal results don’t always predict human outcomes.

6. What are some scientific tools that help improve accuracy in research?

Animals are good research subjects for a variety of reasons. They are biologically similar to humans and susceptible to many of the same health problems. Also, they have short life-cycles so they can easily be studied throughout their whole life-span or across several generations.
