ANIMAL ABUSE

Nowadays, experiments on animals are often used in medicine to develop new medicines, to discover treatments for diseases or to test the safety of other products. However, we should bear in mind some negative and positive aspects and think if experiments on animals are really useful.

On the one hand, many of these experiments cause pain to the animals involved, although many times scientists use some kind of drug to sleep them. This way the animals suffer less. Another point against is that scientists don´t have the safety that the benefits in human beings will be completely sure. Moreover, animal experimenters are very aware that experimenting in animals could produce serious moral problems.

On the other hand, the experiments with animals allow us to find benefits for humans that could not be found with other methods. In addition, when we do experiments we harm animals but in return they give us new discoveries that could save our lives.

To sum up, experiments on animals can be very useful if they benefit human beings and the results are valid. Front my point of view, animals suffer and it is very sad but scientists do the experiments thinking about improving our lives and to find the best remedies to cure diseases.
