Animal Testing: Research Paper

For many centuries people have experimented on animals, and there are two main reasons for doing this. The first reason is that, running tests on animals gives scientists more information about the animals themselves. The second reason is that, testing certain substances on animals such as make up, and medicine on animals answers any questions that the producers of the product and scientists have about the product, such as, if a skin cream will cause a rash or not. Having a scientist’s product tested on an animal gives a scientist confidence about that certain product and assures them that their product is safe to use. Producers of a product want a successful product. The biggest concerns of the makers of a medicine, or make up, is whether or not a product can be able to be used on a human without resulting in any kind of negative side effect. Before a potentially harmful medicine or product can make it into the market, the producers of that product will want adequate proof that humans that will be using a product will not be harmed by it. If someone gets hurt or killed because of a skin cream, the maker of the skin cream could be sued for everything that they have, leaving the business with nothing. In order to prevent a business from failing, and give ease of mind to the producers and also the users of the product, scientists are paid to test products, or certain substances that are mixed within the product on animals before they begin human testing. Animal testing is done in order to ensure themselves and the public that there are no such dangerous chemicals that are a threat to the health of the users. As far as medical products are concerned, there are many steps before a product can go to market, testing the substance on an animal is not the first step. In one of Gale’s articles about opposing view points on animal testing it states, “ . . . Before animal testing, humans served as the first test subjects for new drugs;...
