Scientific innovation is based on trial and error. Experiment upon experiment is conducted in order to ensure that a certain hypothesis or treatment is valid or safe. However, there is a growing controversy behind the morality of certain types of testing; especially on animals. Scientists have been conducting experiments on animals for centuries, which has resulted in many medical advances that would have otherwise taken much longer to realize. Consequently though, a great multitude of people has

With the expansive development of medicine and science, new methods of experimentation must be employed in order to develop highly sophisticated and extremely effective drugs to help combat diseases. A major issue arising from these advances in science have manifested through the animal testing done in laboratories with the purpose of ensuring a drug’s effectiveness for humans. Though many may argue that animals fully merit their own rights to not be tested on, it is not taken into account how often

In 20,000 years ago, rocks covered the cave’s main entrance which made their entry to the cave difficult. However, they discovered several important things. First, the cave contained the oldest paintings that dating returned

All animals truly deserve to lead joyful and healthy lives, yet over 100 million creatures are subjected to harsh animal testing experiments each year alone. New evidence has proved that animal tests are completely unregulated and no longer provide accurate results. Animal experimentation needs to be illegal in the United States because it is truly inhumane and completely unnecessary. Experiments using animals has been used for many centuries now. In fact, testing of animals can be traced all the

that many Americans want to make a change to. I recently viewed a commercial based on animal cruelly that was created for the BCSPCA called Sarah McLachlan: Animal Cruelty Commercial. Which displays a vast amount of ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is ethical appeal. With ethos the writer is trying to the convince the audience with credibility.
