Advancements in medicine help people, animals, and even plants. Meaning the few animals that are sacrificed or tested upon is worth less than the many animals that are potentially saved or helped, thus helping the greater good is more morale]]> 2022-03-10 08:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087842974 https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087844492 Product Safety: In theory, animals used for safety testing are typically not killed and remain healthy, however they are often maltreated. Again, it is commonly considered that the safety of people outweighs the safety of animals, thus animal testing for safety is common.]]> 2022-03-10 08:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087844492 https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087846171 Scientific Knowledge: Animal testing and experimentation is an excellent source to increase scientific knowledge. No one knows what knowledge that will be attained through animal testing, so the value of such animal testing cannot be ascertained ahead of time or even guessed. The most common examples of animal experimentation for scientific knowledge are animal biopsies and vivisections in schools to teach children biology and medical procedures. While this type of animal testing might not yield immediate useful results, it has been helpful in the long term of helping science.]]> 2022-03-10 08:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087846171 https://padlet.com/2020009981/9vlgf3w8gyle5yao/wish/2087847231 Accuracy: Finally, the biggest reason for animal testing is because it works better than any other alternative. Why animal testing can yield results different than human testing, the similarities between animals and humans is staggering and thus helpful to mankind.

Alternatively in some cases, some animals may be even cured of their ailments and diseases during the process of animal testing.

A large number of people do not believe animal testing is ethical, however they often concede that it is necessary.

These people believe that it is only ethical to test on subjects who willingly give their consent for self testing.

Therefore, if the usefulness of animal testing is in question, then animal testing should be reconsidered.

That is why testing, on computer simulations, has increased recently. However, the accuracy of computer simulations is less than animal testing.
