Here is more of my paper, I think I'm close to finishing it, then i can post a final paper for all to see :)
In addition to animal rights, there are scientific needs that must be addressed. Supporters of animal experimentation believe “throughout the world people enjoy a better quality of life because advances made possible through medical research” (Festing 2005 p.568). Supporters feel that finding cures for diseases, including polio and measles, justified animal experimentation. They also believe that animals benefit from some experiments because medicines originally made for humans are now used in animals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also requires that all new drugs be tested on animals before moving the drug to human testing. Although animals are different than humans, experiments do give significant results. Some significant results include knowing an acid in an animals’ eye will have the same effect on humans. After drug testing is done on animals, testing is done on humans, and finally scientists compare the results of the effects of the drug on humans and animals.
