Animals should be used in the scientific experiment


It is universally acknowledged that animals play an indispensable role in the scientific research at the cost of sacrificing their own lives. As the direct beneficiary, everyone should feel sympathetic to those animals with their miserly fates, some advocates of the animal rights even try to forbid scientists to use animals in their experiments because they believed that everything was created by equal, humans do not have the rights to deprive animals of their lives.
Their suggestions are kind but not realistic, they neglect the fact that it is impossible to empower the same rights to humans and animals. Animals should not be regarded to be at the same position as humans. The laws in humans’ world offer us a guarantee that each person has the right of not being hurt, if the application is also suitable in animals’ world, of course scientists should not be allowed to use animals in the experiments, however, if we want to protect the animals’ rights of not being hurt, in essence, we had already broke the laws of the nature, in accordance with this logic, wild animals should not be allowed to capture and hurt other animals as their food, thus how could provide food for them? It is conceivable that animals do not have senses of duties unlike people, so they should not have the same as humans. Based on this, although using animals for scientific experiments, such kind of action should not be criticized, at least from animal rights angle because the definition of human rights and animals are different. Unlike mistreating animals, the use of scientific research has a more meaningful and essential purpose.
The next aspect I want talk about is the necessity of using animals in the experiments. To a large extent, it seems to be impossible to establish a reciprocal mould for animals and humans. Everything has two sides, experiment is not an exception. People benefit a lot from experiments, on the other hand, endless animals lost their lives. Due to the limited technology and intelligence , no one was dare to apply the medicine to heal humans’ diseases without the justification by using animals to test it .Science is based on the experiments, it pays to use animals to do experiments, or we have slow down the pace of development of science which can improve our standard of lives.
Another aspect I want to complement is that animals are not only play the roles of victims of the experiment , in fact, their contribution are not unrequited. Diseases not only pose a great threat to the human-beings, but also invade the bodies of the animals. If scientists succeed in working out the remedy by experiments, animals will survive as well as people with the help of the medicine. It is also significant to the future generations of animals . In many cases, humans use technology to help animals live better, so I cannot emphasize the importance of scientific experiments too much.
On no account can we hurt animals without meaning purposes, and we should spare no efforts to care for them, but comparing to scientific research, we are compelled to hurt them. There is no denying that it is really unfair to animals, but we do not have other choice as an alternative. We feel sorry to them but after all scientists were not against the animals rights. In conclusion, animals should be used for scientific experiments.
