Looking more into the two research topics I have chosen to discuss about was one being if testing on animals was beneficial to humans. Reading the article about the Benefits of Animal Research, I can see that testing on animals is good for people. In the article, the AALAS Foundation talked about many medical problems being solved because they had animals to test on. Adolescents today are protected from typhus, diphtheria, whooping cough, smallpox, and tetanus all because researchers could practice on animals and help come up with vaccines and medicines to solve the issues. One animal that really helped in a serious situation was a dog, it helped come up with insulin. Which is what was extremely helpful for diabetics. Dogs were also helpful to people with serious heart disease, because researchers advanced their techniques with open-heart surgery, pacemakers, and heart transplants. As we can see having animal testing can be beneficial in more ways than one.

            In the article, they talked a lot about how much of an impact animals have on animal testing and it shows how they have helped save a lot of lives. Reading the article, I could see that animal testing is crucial to humans and it has really helped in serious situations. When they discussed how testing on dogs was helpful, because they helped come up with insulin was very interesting and it shows how animal testing is a huge deal. Having the technique doctors have today is all thanks to the animals who helped them become so good at what they do for other people. 

             Animals can be effected in many ways when being tested on. Peta has an article about the Cruelty to Animals in Laboratories, and it talks about how animals get mistreated and tortured. They talked about how they are always locked up and being controlled and have no life inside the place there being held in. They said they could be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain-damaged because U.S. laws are allowing it. While being treated in those horrific ways they also are not being allowed a way to numb the pain or have any pain killers to help ease the problems. Most animals being used in laboratories have been infected with more diseases than what they get when they are out on their own. They say no animals are protected from these conditions.

Going over the article Cruelty to Animals in Laboratories shows and tells me how painful it is for animals to be tested on. No animal should be harmed in that way and no animal should ever be abused in the ways they said they are. Reading that article tells me how much pain and suffering these animals are going through and nothing should be put in those awful situations. Even if animals are helping humans in some ways they should never be treated that way. So maybe we should have animal testing stopped are making sure all the animals are not being treated in such horrible ways.
