Animal experimentation increases our knowledge of diseases and cures through multiple tests. There are millions of diseases across the world, and through tests, they better our understanding on these diseases or help us determine cures for them. One disease many people across the world have is lung cancer due to the products of tobacco. "We conduct animal research to better our understanding of how tobacco products cause diseases in humans" (Morris 1). Another man, Richard Pothier, is so thankful to animal testing, for it has nearly saved his life. He had a heart transplant because he had a very fatal disease that could have very well killed him. Today, four years later, Richard still lives with a heart beating in his chest due to animal testing (Pothier par 4). Many people, every day are saved from death and diseases by treatments and mediation, and this wouldn't be possible without animal testing (WriteFix 1).
