Animal experimentation is beneficial for humanity

This experiment is usually carried out in medical schools, universities and pharmaceutical centers. Normally there are a host of reasons for carrying out animal testing from basically research, to testing of a drug before it is administered to human beings. Notably, a total number of animals ranging from ten to a hundred million are used in animal testing. Greek, 67) This has normally prompted, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal (PETA) to lobby against the cruel killing of animals through animal experimentation. The group has strongly outlined why the killings have to stop highlighting factors as equal animal-human rights. Immunization against diseases such polio at a tender stage helps to curb the diseases reducing the number of people crippled or succumbing to almost zero. The survival rates for major threatening diseases have escalated and the deaths tremendously reduced thanks to animal test.

Notably, in 1940, the number of deaths and crippled persons were observed to be thousands in the world. In Africa, the killer monster disease had been noted to be malaria which has been contained with few to no deaths reported. Animal experimentation is therefore beneficial. Animal experimentation is of the essence because through it researchers can be able to make strides in developing or discovering major surgeries that can be performed on vital human organs and also find vaccines and treatment to a host of diseases affecting people on their day to day life (National Research Council, 2009). This is epitomized by the heart surgery and transplant realized through a surgery on a dog. Many people would have otherwise succumbed to heart failures thanks to animal testing. Likewise, different drugs for an array of diseases like diabetes have been figured out through the same process leading to the insulin that helps regulate blood sugars in diabetic patients.

It has helped in stopping the number of deaths thus saving lives. Animal experimentation helps in psychology to discern human behavior. That is they are used as a model to study human mind and behavior especially diseases involving psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases. The magazine psychology today notes "the study of animal behavior is a cornerstone of experimenting psychology, shedding light on complex human emotions. This has culminated in patients with mental illness; memory disorders, depression and psychiatric illness finding help (Shapiro, 105). Despite this, there have been a host number of groups and individuals against animals' experimentation citing the reason as the procedure is cruel, sad and painful to the animal. Moreover, there has been animals test for diseases exclusive to animals. This is exemplified by the insulin vaccine that's is as well used to treat animals, equally a vaccine that was developed has helped contain pasteurellosis, a condition that used to affect one out of five cattle protecting million and more.

Conclusion The benefits of animal are far-reaching owing extensive advancement we have observed. The medical researchers have found it easier to conduct their experiment. Scientists, therefore, are involved in animal testing, to have more informed decision on medicine, which is very crucial for human existence.
