Animal testing is using animals for medical experimentation, product testing, and education. " People have experimented with animals for hundreds of years, but the practice did not become widespread until the late 1800s" (Rowan par 2). Animal testing traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, but at that point it wasnt used as much as it is now. People believe that animal testing is helpful, because it would be unethical to give a harmful disease to a human, in order to test new vaccines, to cure a disease (de Boer 1). Many people agree with this statement, because they believe that animals are inferior to people. Animals are not perfect, but they're as close as scientists are going to get to finding cures to things without using human beings (Time 2008). Animal testing should be able to be used for health and medical purposes, because it protects the well being of humans, helps create new products through different tests, and increases our knowledge of diseases and cures.
