Testing human medicine on animals; right or wrong?

Author: Muhammad Tahir (15-English SBBU)

This method is widely used by Doctors and Scientists from all over the world, that they are testing human medicine on animals in order to get certain results, which might help the coming generations of humans.
Hence, experiments breed pain and sufferings to animals, because of, large numbers of animals are being decimated which is morally wrong. Since, animals have rights, and exploiting animals means to violate their right and violating right is morally wrong. But, to some extent it is permissible and acceptable in our norms, provided that animals endure less pain and sufferings and when human benefits gained only with this method. It is morally accepted, if the results are valid and can be applied to humans’ benefits.
However, numbers of Scientists are in favour that if alternative testing methods can produce great benefits then there is no need of experiments. Since then, they are working exclusively on alternative testing methods. Even the amount of animals being used for experiments is curtailed in most of the laboratories and Scientists are sharing their researches with each others in order to lessen the sufferings of animals.
This is a straight forward issue and those who are in the favour claims that if the results are valid and humans are gaining intended results then the good done to human beings outweighs the harm done to animals. However, those who are against of this issue hold that, even if humans are gaining adequate benefits, they cannot defend all form of sufferings. Because there are some form of sufferings which are probably impossible to justify.
