Lianne Essay3: My argument for

My Argument for Animal Testing

  Today more and more medicines are invented and medical techniques are amazingly developed. Here's the question. How can this happen? There can be many reasons like the discovery new materials, invention of medical machines and so on. However the biggest factor which have the decisive effect is the animal testing.

  So, what is a animal testing? Animal testing also known as animal experiment is having experiments on animals to know if it's appropriate for humans to use. On the basis of  bioethics, animal testing is becoming a serious problem and many people are opposed to it. However, I agree with animal testing.These are the following reasons: animal testing is necessary for better life, it had been a great help from past to present , we have no choice but animal testing, and enough of animal testing is okay. 

  To start with. animal testing is necessary for better life for everyone. In the world, a lot and lot of people are having hard times with their health problems. People in the poor countries are dying because of lack of nutrients. They need to be cured by medicines. What about the people with disease that doesn't have any solutions yet? To help them, we have to invent right treatments and medicines for them as soon as possible. We need to give them a better life. 
  
  Secondly, animal testing had been a great help from past to the present. Animal testings are usually used in inventing products that are necessary and also easy to be reached in our lives. The typical ones are medicines, cosmetics, and also food. It's used everywhere! So even people who disagrees with animal experiments are using those things naturally not knowing they were animal tested. We need to use those things to keep our body so I say that the animal tests are really close to us than we think and helped us and made a better life.


  Thirdly, we have no choice but animal testing. The time when the medical techniques developed the most was during the World War II. This was the time when people had most medical experiment on a living body in formally and informally. Through this, the medical techniques developed enormously. Plenty of people have died through this with no reason and this kind of experiment never have to be happened again. However, we still need to have higher quality of medical skills and more medicines have to be invented.

  So what I mean is that animal testing is an unavoidable choice for the development of medical. From the animal's perspective it can be sad but by their death we can save more and more people. Through the research, I found out that their is a kind of experiment using the animal cell. However, this is not enough to replace the animal testing. It's hard to find out the right result. Until we find the better way, we have to use the animal testing.

  Lastly, enough of animal testing is okay. Some scientists do animal experiments for no reasons. Some scientists do some experiments for useless purpose. Not for the development of science or medical but to know the limitation of the invented animal. I think that's an awful experiment giving the animal only pain. Except of experiments like this, I think enough of animal experiments are good.

  To conclude, animal testing have to be held. It's a big social problem and has both good effects and also some problems. I think it has more positive effects so I agree with it. However, from the process of the experiment we should think from the animal and have to know what we are doing this for not just hurting the animals. We should keep the animal testing until other kinds of experiments can replace it but treat them nicely!  Animal testing had been a great help for us and we have to thank for them.

  1. Lianne agree to the animal testing. She has 3 reasons for this. The first reason is animal testing is necessary for better life for everyone. The second one is that animal testing had been a great help from past to the present. And the last reason is that enough of animal testing is okay. She admits that there are some problems but she says that animal testing has more positive effects than problems. And she ends the essay by telling us to thank for the animals.

    1. Lianne! I agree to you that animal testing has more good effects than problems.:)But I have a question!!
      Do you think the life of human is more precious than the life of animal?

  2. When I read your hook, I guessed you will oppose to this idea, but no! I also agree with your idea. But what about this, there is only 1.16% that animals and human's common disease. Also there is Thalidomide incident that Thalidomide is a medicine reduce morning sickness(입덧). That medicine also tested to animals, there was no problem and side effects. However to human, there is big side effect that newborn baby had short arm and leg. What do you think about this???


    P.S you can see some pictures at here

  3. I'd thought that you're going to oppose animal testing when I just read your first sentence. But... my prediction missed. :) Anyway, your essay was really unique. And I'm also supporting animal testing.

    Here's my one more supporting detail to it: Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." (Genesis 1:28, NLT)

    I have a question. This might be a hard question if you are agreeing with animal testing. Are you agreeing with animal cloning?

  4. Wow. Your essay is very persuasive. Animal testing is cruel, I think. But after I read your essay, I knew that animal testing is necessary for our lives.
    Anyway, animals have feelings and they feel pain. Don't you think that they're miserable?

  5. Thank you for sharing your idea Lianne.
    Your essay was well structured, and after I wrote your essay, I was almost persuaded to you.
    I think this kind of topic is related to 'life ethic', right?
    It must be hard to handle, but you did well.
    However, it seems evident that in our world view, life value of human is far outweighing than animals.
    But problem gets hard when we met 'Evaluation Theory' or 'Buddhism'
    Both opinions are sharing the idea that every life value has equal amount of right, and human is not superior to animal.
    Therefore, no experiment for human neither animal.
    How should we have conversations with them?(in which way? how?)
