Answer to Question 23, 27 and 28

23, Is animal experimentation really necessary?
27, How do animal experimentations contribute to our lives?

28, What is the danger of using alternatives?

This is what scientists who agree with animal experimentation say.

“When scientists create new medicines, they must experiment animals to know the safeties of them. That is because to understand the life activities scientifically is very important for the health of both human and animal and the conservation of environment. In that sense, animal experimentation is necessary.

These days, many scientists in all over the world use alternatives. They use computer simulations or cultivated cells as real animals. However, human being’s body structure is complexed and they cannot fully analyze physiological functions by current science technology. Also, a lot of surveys use animal experimentations and prove their effects and many scientists have got Novel Prizes.”

In addition to these in the table, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, spinal injury, corneal opacity, diabetes and tuberculosis are examples that animal experimentations contribute to our lives.

Here is what people who disagree with animal experimentation say.

Because scientists can get much salaries, they use animal experimentation and announce their results of studies. Scientists create similar symptom in the body of animal even though the body structure of human being and animal are not exact the same. Also, human beings have their own stress, diet and heredity and they depends on each of us. That’s why animal experimentations are not only useless but also dangerous in a way. We citizens have images that animal experimentation is necessary for our health but there are still some harmless effects of medicines.”
