1 Medical research using live animals Gary Boals

2 Pros To test the effects of medications and treatments. It helps us find cures for diseases. There is no other way to test on a living whole body system. Animals often make better subjects than humans because of their shorter life cycle. Animals themselves benefit from the tests. Animal testing has contributed to many life saving cures and treatments.

3 Cons Animal testing is cruel and inhumane There are now other ways to test treatments Animals are very different than humans making them poor subjects Animal tests may mislead researchers into ignoring potential cures and treatments 95% of animals used are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act. Animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings.
