experimentation of animals is a widely contested aspect of medical research. The question posed is: under what conditions, if any, is it morally acceptable to conduct experimental research on non-human animals? Experimental research, for the purpose of this paper, will be defined as the the potential harmful, non-therapeutic research on animals. As a basis for the argument, it is necessary to provide statistics on conducting animal research. Each year more than 100 million animals are killed in the

Web. 07 Nov. 2014 Mcdermott, in this article states how animals feel as living things that deserve respect. Everyone should have compassion for animals because they give us many advantages. Animals grant us benefits such as food and clothing. Around the world animals are being killed with cruelty, and the article
In “The Case for Animal Rights”, Tom Regan argues for the total abolition of animal research by saying that animals1 have the right to not be treated as others’ resources. In “The Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical Research”, Carl Cohen encourages animal research because he argues that animals have no rights and that animal research generates huge long term benefits. In this paper, I will first present Regan’s and Cohen’s arguments, and then state what may be Regan’s defenses against Cohen
do people think animals don’t need a Bill of Rights? I agree that all animals should have a bill of rights. Animals need a bill of right because when it comes to making food for us . Animals should have the same rights as we do as humans because they way we treat animals is wrong. That Singer says a lot of things that go with how they do things with apes.Singer says “Speaking personally, i feel we should extend rights to a wide range of nonhuman animals.” For example that

In the article "'Pets or Meat?' Ethics and Domestic Animals," Grace Clement addresses a topic that surfaces in the minds of many: are loveable house pets and the "meat" animals people consume one in the same? If so, why is it morally okay to eat the "meat" animals? Clement describes the similarities between a common
the use of animals in research justified? Should animal experimentation be permitted? Should these animals be liberated? The use of animals in scientific research has long been a debatable subject for decades. Most individual consider it morally wrong for animals to be used this way just for the benefit of humans. In this paper, I will give a brief background and description of the scientific use of animal testing, I will explain some of the medical furtherance achievements from animal testing, and
The most common method for test if a drug, or substance is safe to humanity is animal testing. For many decades people have used animals for the testing of drugs,and various other types of medical research. The usage of animals in research is necessary to help protect as many people as possible from the possible negative effects of the tested medicines. Animals necessary in medical research The use of animals in research is important to make sure that a treatment is safe.This means that so a large
#1: Regan v. Cohen on Animal Rights & Animal Testing in Biomedical Research In this paper, I will summarize Regan’s view supporting animal rights. Then I will contrast it against Cohen’s stance against the inclusion of animals in the moral sphere which would end animal testing in biomedical research. Finally, I will explain how I believe Regan would defend himself against Cohen’s objections. Regan states that animals should have rights, and claims that the system of animal exploitation is fundamentally
Bill of Rights A percent of the population believe that animals should be treated with the same rights that humans are threated. However, in most cases, this is not possible. Sometimes people call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell humans how the feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no word. The concept that both animals and humans have inherent rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, is fundamental for both societies. Since animals are, indeed
Haze Indonesia has struggled for years to contain forest fires, especially in the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan. Indonesia has lost 72 percent of its large forest areas to industries like timber, paper and palm oil. At least six of the ten countries in the ASEAN region have been affected by the haze, including southern Thailand and Vietnam, and most parts of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The haze affecting Cambodia and Cebu in the Philippines is also suspected to have
