Introduction
Medical testing on animals is one of the main issue that has occurred within US. There is
an estimation of approximately 26 million animals who are tested within US. There are several
animals who are involved in medical treatments and these determine toxicity of medications. The
following report includes an in depth analysis of medical testing on animals.
1.Apply an understanding of logical reasoning to analyse the arguments presented in the given
case study.
The given case study is related to animals who are used in medical testing. Supporters of animal
research contend that it has allowed multiple life-saving therapies to be created for both humans
and animals, that there is no alternative approach for the study of a full living organism, and that
stringent rules prohibit animal cruelty in laboratories. Animal experimentation is one of the most
dangerous issue that has came into consideration since years. It is essential that animal
experimentation in the medical science must be stopped so that there is no way of problem to
them. It is concluded that experimenting upon animals must be unethical legally as it creates
problems. It is seen that there are more than 100 million animal including dogs, frogs, hamsters,
monkeys, etc. on which medical training and chemical testing is done. At the time of their
deaths, there are few animals who are forced to inhale the toxic fumes and the immobilised
animals are having hole drilled into skulls and spinal cords. According to the research conducted
in Pew, it is analysed that more than 50% of US adults are opposing the animal testing. There are
majority of animal experimentation that are contributing to the value and health of the animal
experimentation. There are several medical researches which have shown that care of human
disease and poor replication of the high quality studies implies that diseases are induced in
animals within laboratory. It is concluded from the NIH that experimenting on animals is
becoming a problem. Animal experiments have led to substantial developments in the treatment
of diseases such as prostate cancer, brain injuries, childhood leukaemia, muscular dystrophy,
multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, and more and have played an important part in the production of
pacemakers, heart valves, and others. Other types of study, such as in lab experimentation (tests
conducted on living tissues or petri dish tissue), provide ways to minimise or substitute animal
testing. The potential for material regenerative medicine is made feasible by technical
