Medicine would not exist if it was not for animal testing (Pro-Test). And without medicine, how many diseases would still be incurable today? Too many to count is the answer. There have also been many improvements of conditions through animal testing. “Animal research has improved the treatment of infections, helped with immunisation, improved cancer treatment and had a big impact on managing heart disease, brain disorders, arthritis and transplantation” (Pigilito). Testing on animals has aided the development of vaccines for many life threatening diseases like Herpes Simplex, Hepatitis B, Polio, rabies, malaria, mumps and a virus related to organ transplantation rejection (Shandilya). These diseases could have been fatel to thousands but because of animal testing it hasn't happened.
