Join The Debate: Animal Testing

Do you opose animal testing. Do you think that it is vital for medecine. Do you only opose animal tests for non-medecine related products. This talk is perhaps the most agressive one. Join the debate.

Vanity vs Medical research
How can medical science develop if exploratory research is not carried out? Would we be a developing country if we had not had the chance to explore. Fully disagree with testing animals for cosmetic reasons. Life of an animal for vanity is not acceptable but some people are still unaware of how much testing is undertaken for cosmetic reasons.

This is the opinion that many people have. They disagree with aniaml testing for cosmetics yet not for drugs. I am against all aniaml testing. What does the testing on animals for drugs actually do? Aniamls have different genes and make-up than we do. The only reason that these people test on animals is to hide themselves behind a wall and be protected so that if someone died because of their drugs and they were taken to court they can say 'Well, it's been tested on animals'. And many people do die because of the drugs. Wouldn't it be more useful to just count the number of people that die. That's the right testing. If the people die because of the drugs that shows that the aniaml testing is unecassary in the first place. And the products that animals are tested on? Why do you need aniaml test on shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, postit notes, coffee, tobaco, sugar, even water!

Animal Testing Is Evil
It's evil! Evil evil evil evil evil!

You're so narrow minded.
I'm against animal testing too, but think where we'd be without it! We'd all have many desieses because there would be no drugs to cure us!

Just for some drgs? These may be good, but think about the price. Not money, but lives. I call it a 'holocaust'. Do you know how many animals are experimented on each year? Anyway, these animal tests are practically unnecessary - after all these, when the drugs are released, many people die because of the drugs. Why not analyse those results? The only real reason that these animals are tested on is for a safety net - if the manager gets sued and taken to court he or she will say 'Well, we've tested them on animals.' And anyway, an animal's genes are different to ours, so all that we make from testing on animals is an estimate. And... It's expensive, and it would only take a few years to make an animal safe computer program.

I am against animal testing! I used to be against it for cosmetics, but not medicine. But I changed my mind after thinking about it because why does an animal deserve to die because we want a cure. I'm not saying that if I was dying i would refuse animal tested cures, but really the only thing that the animals get is death. No choice, no thank you, no nice friendly conditions in the lead up to there cruel death. Nothing at all! And it doesnt even help them, they cant really be cured by the drugs developed. God made all animals equal, I think he would disaprove of us killing many of his creation so that we can be cured of illness' only to die later or smell better. Its kind of murder, and why on animals if it were humans it would not be allowed. Why on animals...are they lesser beings...NO!

We're Equally Different
To me we are not the same as other animals. Each different type of animal and each single animal is different. Really, saying that we are all equal is like saying Bob is like George. But Bob doesn't like custard pie even though George does. And George doesn't like rollercoaster rides, and Bob loves all - especially the Pepsi Max. But the fact that we are all different makes us all equal - equally different. Each different animal should have the right to live and enjoy it's life. And, because we're different, testing on an animal that has different genes to Bob (or any other human). So, we never really get the facts right, thearetically meaning that testing on animals is almost pointless, and it is proven by the fact that many people do die of drugs (medecine kind). The, main reason that companies do test on animals is to have a 'saftey net'. If they were taken to court because someone died then they would be able to say 'Well, they were tested on animals.' So, even if these drugs were really helpful it would be bad that animals are killed after living a barren remote life in a small cage constantly having drugs pumped into you. But because we're differnt and have different genes, the correct side effects are not known and even though it would be helpful to most many people die of the side effects that cannot be found in an animal - making it almost pointless. And the argument about computer programs - It would take a few years - that's it - to build a computer program. If they simply took the time to make one, the companies wouldn't spend as much money and many animals will not be tortured and killed.

There is nothing more pointless
Animal testing IS the most pointless practise that exists in this world at this moment in time - no argument! It's all for money, no matter what anyone says, it's not "for the good of the human race"!!! Have you heard of any brilliant miracle cures from testing on animals that hasn't ended up with MAJOR side effect?? I haven't, and I've done a tonne of research! There was one drug that was found safe on chimps, and then was to young children with leukemia. Most of them wen blind, and hundreds died. That was only about 15-20 years ago, and nothing's changed much. I am especially against Huntingdon Life Sciences, because I read articles describing some of the pointless, inhumane, sick and utterly unforgivabe "tests" they're conducting there - including throwing 3- month-old puppies against walls, and covering husky puppies with petrol, and then setting them on fire. Oh yeah, I think that'll really help the human race - like hell.

how would you like it?
how would you like is someone didn't give you a chioce but made you use your body for testing? It's would not be fun would it? So think about how the animals feel;the point i am trying to get across is DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Human Tissue cultures
Human tissue cultures are where you remove a bit of tissue from a dead person who has agreed to it and they use it to develop medicines. It works! They are being used by charities such as the Willow Foundation and Macmillan.
