Pros-+Introduction

Cosmetics, drugs and cleaning supplies, all usually tested on animals. Most products that go on our skin or are made of chemicals are tested on animals before they are released to the public.So far,animal testing has given us treatments for polio, tetanus, scarlet fever, insulin for diabetes and antibiotics to fight infection (Shandilya). Rats have an average of 6-24 babies per litter and breed all year round, all their lives. “ To infect monkeys with the AIDS virus or to expose rodents to toxic chemicals and radiation is simply not acceptable, whatever the supposed benefits” (Dixon). But what if the benefit from this experiment is to save human skin health from a harmful chemical in a concealer that could have caused a terrible bubbly red rash on human skin? Would the ends justify the means then? Animal testing helps prevent human injuries, new scientific advancements, and to help learn more about science in general which can enhance our culture.
