my opinion for animal experimentation

I agree with animal experimentation. When we suffer from illnesses, we use medicines and the safety of most of them are ensured by animal experimentation. Its research results have become pretty successful at a lot of serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes or tuberculosis. Also, it helps some specific studies and in fact, many scientists who got Nobel Prize in Chemistry experimented animals in their researches.

Silvio Garattini, a scientist of Milano University, says animal experimentation is necessary. Many people who against it say that to experiment animal is too cruel but none of the scientists do it without any particular motive. Also, they can do it only when they are permitted by strict ethical committee.

There is a principal called 3R, Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement. Scientists have to make it clear why they need to do it and consider these R words when they do it.

I can understand those who are opposed to animal experimentation because it’s too cruel. But it is just an argument based on emotion. If animal experimentation is abolished, we have to use medicines which their safeties are not ensured. Do you want to use them when you want to be healthy? I don’t want to. That’s why I think animal experimentation is necessary for us to live.
