Weise, Elizabeth. (2008). Agreement could bring end to animal testing: Agencies will develop other methods, 4a. From Academic Search Elite Database.
There has been three agencies that have decided to develop new methods of testing for safety of humans for new drugs and chemicals. The Environment Protection Agency, The National Toxicology Program, and The National Institutes of Health have all made these decisions to make the new methods in testing. These companies have signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” to develop these ideas. Stephens of the Humane society thinks it will be at least 10 years before the animal testing can be stopped. The Humane Society and other groups have protested for long times about the animal testing of cosmetics and other personal products. Stephens would estimate to be about 10 million animals a year die from toxicity testing. They hope to rely on new testing of human cell growth in test tubes and computer driven test machines.

This is article that talks about the safety of prescription drugs. Six men were killed on a drug that was tested on monkeys, this drug was supposedly proven safe from the test. This drug was tested on many different monkeys and was thought to be ready for humans to take. Side affects of prescription drugs is the fourth leading cause of death in the world today. Kathy, the Director of Europeans of Medical Progress, thinks that the new advancements in test of human cell growth could have prevented this disaster. Monkeys failed to be able to prevent this, and she thinks that this could be a future problem.

This council talks about how the research of the animal testing is based on the health and the well being of the humans on this earth. That is the most important thing that the animal testing researchers have on their mind is saving lives of other people which I think is very important. Also another big thing that is a benefit from animal testing is anesthetics. They test this on many animals and helps the doctors in the operating room when they are trying to put out a patient. This is a really important thing of animal testing because it could really kill someone if you put them out with the wrong type of medicine or the wrong way.

Over 500 hundred researchers from the UK are supporting animal testing because they think it is a important source of research. They signed a declaration saying that it is important to their research, it was organized by the Research Defense Society. The signatures of important and famous doctors were included in the declaration to keep animal testing alive. It is something the doctors want to keep animal testing alive and helping them in the operating room.

There are estimated 20 million animal testing each year from 3 main categories of testing. This is Toxicology testing, applied research and theoretical research. Applied research is they type of research that is directed towards the goal of studying real life problems. This is trying to solve these problems such as trying to cure a disease. Theoretical research aims at the subjects anatomy. This is such things as physiology, psychology and things of that nature. Also Toxicology testing is the testing of things like cosmetics and pharmaceutical things. This writer from the University of Wisconsin accepts the applied research, because of what it is aimed at. I agree that when it is aimed toward life problems that it should be done. Also he agrees with most of the theoretical research but not all. And the cosmetic testing is the things that he rather not be animal tested. Applied research has been used to help prevent Hepatitis B, Polio, Herpes, and also has helped treat a person with high blood pressure. Many lives are saved every year from the applied research, thousands every year are to be the estimate. He thinks that we still need to try to cut down on the animals being tested every year. But the lives that are saved very much out weigh the cost of these procedures. Theoretical testing is a bit more questionable because it is just trying to further our knowledge on a subject and we are killing living creatures for doing this.

Kathy writes in the Ecologist magazine about the 3 causes of death that lead the nation. Cancer, heart disease and stroke are the 3 that kill most in the West. The next leading killer is the side effects of prescription drugs, killing over 10,000 a year in the UK, and over 100,000 in the U.S. There has been a lot of drugs that help treat strokes and been successful in animal testing but killed humans when they take them. Also studies show that cigarette smoke, and alcohol are all safe to ingest. Kathy still says that a drug should still be effectively tested in test tubes and animal testing before giving it to a person. But no drug is 100 percent safe because it differs from age, gender and other factors
