Using animals to test the safety of cosmetics or drugs used for medical reasons is never acceptable. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Using animals to test the safety of cosmetics or drugs used for medical reasons is never acceptable. kObe

Before any new product is put on the market whether it is a cosmetic product, or potentially life saving medicine, the producers will wa nt to make sure that it is safe for humans to use. A common way of doing this is to test the product on animals. Many people feel that this is unacceptable because it assumes that an animal life is somehow less valuable than a human life. Opponents of animal testing point out that the animals involved often suffer great pain and fear, and argue that we have no right to do this to them for our own benefit. On the other hand, it cannot be denied that animal test ing has helped scientists to make great discoveries in the field of medicine, providing effective drugs against cancer, heat disease and other potentially fatal illnesses. Supporters of animal testing argue t hat many lives have been saved this way. I would agree that t here may be some benefits to using animals to test new medicines, although I would prefer such testing to be kept to a minimum. Increasingly, there are new ways of testing products, using cell cultures, which need not involved animals at all. However, even when this is not possible, I cannot agree t hat it is necessary to test cosmetic products on animals. There are already thousands of cosmetic products on the market, with no need for further development and testing. Exploiting animals in this way is, in my opinion completely unacceptable. In conclusion, I would not agree that testing products on animals is never acceptable, but it should be reserved for essential scientific work
