Animals in Science (7)
There are many animals that are used in science for different purposes. There are animals used in science for human science and there are also animals in science for their own species. Animals used in science is also a controversial topic. There are people that believe that no animal should ever be used in science, while others believe it is a vital aspect of human and animal health. There are beliefs that alternatives to animals used in science cannot replace them, even humans. This is because of the walls and regulations that are in place stating that some aspects of science cannot be completed on humans and only some animals.
Within a scientific lab there are people that believe testing on humans first is the wrong thing to do because they're human, but they do not feel the same way towards animals. There is a belief that humans are above all animals in that we should be the determining factor on how they live for us and not with us.
Even during the COVID-19 vaccination trials, humans wanted to be the test subjects. There are many people that are willing to subject themselves to the consequences if they can get what they want. This can not only be seen with the COVID-19 vaccination trial it can also be seen with Alzheimer's and cancer treatments. There are people willing to do things and “sacrifice” themselves for science, because there is a possibility everything works in their favor. There are also many college students as well as people within the lower income ranges that will complete studies and trials for money. Animals do not have to be the first choice for studying something. It is chosen that animals are used. While we do share many similarities with the animals that are used in science it is still not 100% accurate, and wow the physical side effects can be seen the mental and emotional ones are harder to be picked up as they cannot describe how they feel.
