Please read and give me some commends about my essay Task 2, from Academic point of view. (430 words, hand-written in 44 min’). Examine the arguments in favour of and against animal experiments, and come to a conclusion on this issue. Animal experiments have long been a heated topic amongst animal lovers, researchers and scientists. It is a known fact that each new drug will have to be tested on animals first before applying for human patients, which is a reasonable and necessary part of the drug development. However, many people consider this action as cruel to the experimented animals, and this should be stopped by the government. From personal point of view, I believe that sacrifices from animals are necessary to medical research, though it will be better if scientists in the future can develop a trialling method that might not involve animals. To begin with, there had been a number of drugs been developed thanks to animal experiments. In order to find out how the patients’ bodies will react to a drug, the developer will have to choose to test on a living creature, which, cannot be human since it is rather unpredictable and potentially dangerous if side effects occur. Thus the only option is to experiment this drug on animals with the purpose of saving people. Particularly with some fatal diseases such as cancer, and with the limited power of current technology, taking trial medicines on animals seems to be the only rational and practical step that one has to make. It is obvious that from our human’s perspective, the lives of our fellows are higher regarded than the lives of experimented animals. However, there are voices from animal lovers around the world against this practice since this is considered as too cruel to innocent animals. I, on the other hand, disagree with their opinion, as people have eaten animals from a long time ago, and no one had criticised about this. For an animal, being experimented is only as suffering as being eaten, and both are for human’s benefits. Furthermore, although my personal view appears to be unfair to animals, it is important to note that with our current level of technology, animal experiments is the only way for new medicines to be tested before using them on people. In the future, hopefully with the advancement in our medical science, animals will be treated better and less being involved in trialling new drugs, but that is only a mere hope in the increase of many new diseases arising from modern lives. In summary, I support the idea that animal experimentation is still inevitable for medical research and developing drugs. In spite of that, there is a faint hope in the future that we might be able to test new drugs without experimenting them on innocent animals.
