What Are The Positive Effects Of Animal Experiments?

Animal experiment is an important issue that people concern about before purchasing the product or service. Many animals are used in the experiments for medical test and safe test of new products. They are usually locked into a cage with loneliness, painful and fear surrounded. The locked animals may pull out their fur or biting themselves which is caused by the mental health problems. Also, some experiments may require dropping the chemical on the rabbits’ eyes. This can lead to painful since their eyes are very sensitive. There will be physical and mental problem caused by it. It is believed that using animals as a tool for experiments is morally wrong which have no proof of the positive effects to the society.

Animals are used for experiments

For example, Sarin gas was invested in 1938 in Wuppertal-Elberfeld in Germany and was used in the terrorist attack in Tokyo in 1995. Sarin gas is known as a chemical weapon which can lead a huge suffer. It is highly toxic to the living animals or human beings. To invest Sarin gas, animals were used for the experiments. People claimed that animal experiments occur as to bring positive effect to the society. However, there are examples show that there is no proof that animal experiments must bring the positive effects to human beings. According to the article “Beyond Animal Research” written by Jonathan Balcombe on September 2005, rats were used for testing the Sarin gas. Most of them died by injecting or exposure under the Sarin gas. People always say that animal experiments can enhance human society. However, the history of war does not support the claim. Sarin gas is a good example to argue. Animals were used to test the chemical weapon which can lead to a great suffer and death in the world. People are killed by a weapon which used animals to test the outcome of it. In 2016, chemical weapons are tested on animals by ISIS. If the purpose of having

This brings disvalue to the animals. According to the definition of the Utilitarianism, action is right if and only if it maximizes value, which means happiness, and minimizes disvalue, which means suffer. In the cases of animal experiments, human beings are enjoying the output of new products or therapy after testing on animals. This can maximize the happiness of human beings about having a new product or therapy. However, there are suffer from the animals which are used for the animal tests. According to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, millions of animals are suffered from the painful and stress from the animal experiments. Most of them died due to the chemical, drug, food and cosmetics tests. The amount of suffer from the experiments is much more than the happiness from the consumer. If an action cannot maximize happiness and minimize suffer, it is not morally right. So, animal experiment is morally wrong. Refers to Golden Rule, we should treat others as the way we want to be treated. However, there is no people want to be locked into a cage and live under a pressured environment. If the animals are put into a small cage and facing different experiments every single day without any help from human, this is violating the Golden Rule. We are not treating them in the way that we want to be treated. But there are people argue that animals are not human beings. They do not have
