I believe that human being has conquered a lot of disease and developed many medicines because of animal experimentation. That is the truth that most of people know; however, there is another truth that medicine which is proved by animal experimentation has killed a lot of people. According to ‘Scared cows and golden geese’, a lot of medicines which is proved by animal experimentation killed a lot of people more than illegal medicine. This fact tells us that there is no why we should keep experiment on animal which has no same body organization. Furthermore, human being has no right to give a pain to animal for useless and dangerous result of animal experimentation. Therefore, animal experimentation should be illegal and we should protect animal’s right.
Some people and scientist who believe that human being needs animal experimentation think that animal experimentation is necessary for development of new medicine for new disease. However, according to ‘scared cow and golden geese’, there are a lot of medicine which killed human being. For example, Thalidomide which was wide used sleeping pill caused many deformed children, even though this medicine was proved that this medicine did not harm to human body by animal experimentation. Moreover, the reason why scientists prefer to experiment on animal is that it costs much cheaper. Even so animal has different body system from human being, scientist keep doing animal experimentation. The money is the answer. Not only less cost but also easier result about safety of new medicine makes them keep animal experimentation. Scientist who works for Medicine Company can get money easier and sooner if they get result from animal experimentation, because experiment on human costs more and takes longer time. That is why they experiment on animal instead of experiment on human which can bring safer and more accuracy result.
Opponents also claim that human being has always used animal for human being during centuries, so there is nothing wrong with animal experimentation. They said that animal experimentation is same as eating animal that people usually do. I think that it needs ethical contemplation. Stocks such as cow, pig, and chicken are animals which human being used to eat for living during centuries. That is why people blame on eating dogs, monkeys, and some animals which people usually eat. Furthermore, we do not need to give a pain to animal to get useless and dangerous results.
Another argument advanced by opponents is that human being has already gotten a lot of benefit from animal experimentation such as medicine for new disease. However, people should know that there are more medicines which cause a side effect than ‘good’ medicines which cure disease. According to ‘scared cow and golden geese’, there are many cases which shows medicine proving by animal experimentation have had side effects. Moreover, this means that it might bring other problems to human being such as mutant animal, new epidemic, and destroying of ecosystem. And it is obvious that animal experimentation can cause more serious bad effect on humans’ body, because it does not mean safe if new medicine is not harmful to animal which has different body and immune system.
I think that we can invent new medicine without animal expectation. Many researches show that many of medicine which human has invented by animal experimentation might be able to be invented without animal experimentation. Even though there are a lot of possibilities to invent new medicine without experiment on both animal and human such as using a human’s cell, the fact that scientist keep experiment on animal is very cruel and inhumane. That is not right keeping animal experimentation because of less cost.
Conclusion, I believe that animal experiment should be illegal and we should stop animal experimentation to protect animals’ right. Animal experimentation is nothing but giving a pain to animal and causing dangerous effects to human’s health. As some researches say, safe medicine proving by animal experimentation is not real safe to human’s body; it is safe to only certain animal which scientists experiment on. Animal experimentation that gives a pain to not only animal but also human is useless and cruel. And it also hampers our development of medical science which has possibilities about inventing new medicine without animal experimentation. Therefore, human being should stop cruel animal experimentation not only for animal but also human being.
