Which products was banded in the UAE for the animal testing.

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.

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.

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.

5. Scientists make sure that the animals they are testing on are genetically similar to humans and they test on multiple different species of that animal to ensure that the results are accurate.

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.

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.

No Animals may be used for scientific experiments purposes except with permission from the Competent Dept.

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.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.

2. Our canva displays our research, our summaries, our globally and locally questions and our central idea.

3. We completed our website, an interview, surveys/collecting data, social media to spread awareness and we put posters around the school now we are scheduling a field trip.

4. We have not scheduled a field trip yet but are working on scheduling one.

5. I think the hardest part was planning our field trip.

6. I worked with my group and mentor well this week, with my group and mentor on my global and my UAE questions, emails and my summary.
