Testing on animals is a standard in scientific research. What is the best way to deal with problem?
Scientific researchers need to make experiments in order to achieve their goals. According to the rules of an advanced society, the question to consider is: Are humans more valuable than animals? Is it more important to avoid animal suffering or to develop scientific knowledge?First of all, a modern society should show respect for animals, avoiding their suffering, because this is the mark of modern and civilized societies. However, animals don´t have the same rights as humans, and it could be very useful to create an ethical code which analyses and establishes best practices using laboratory animals.
Secondly, recently alternative research tools have been deeply developed, especially computer simulation models. That means there are a lot of research experiments which can be made using mathematical models, instead of sacrificing living beings.
Despite that, most medical research, eg., before validating a new medicine, needs to be tested first on animals and, as far as I know, this test is the only way to try out future possible solutions for our current diseases.
In conclusion, the priority should be to develop new medicines through scientific research, provided that these kinds of practices avoid unneccessary* suffering to animals. The development of new kinds of research tools without animals and the creation of an ethical code (common and consentual) could be some of the keys to solving this situation.
Very well written!

Testing on animals is a standard in scientific research. What is the best way to deal with problem?
Scientific reserchers needs making experiments in order to achive its goals. According to the rules of an advanced society, the question to consider is: Are humans more valuable than animals? What of both things (avoiding the animal suffer or developing the scientific knowlodge) is the more priority one?First of all, a modern society should show respect for the animals, avoiding their suffer, because this is the behavior of modern and civilized societies. However, animals don´t have the same rights than humans, and it could be very useful to create an ethical code which analizes and stablish what are the best practices using animals in the laboratories.
Second of all, last time the alternative research tools have been developed deeply, especially the simulation models by computing. That means there are a lot of research experiments which can be made using mathematic models, instead of sacrificing living being.
Despite of that, the most of the medical research, for example previous to validation a new medecine, needs to be tasted previosly in animals and as far as I know this one is the only way to try out the future solutions for our current diseases.
In conclusión, the mos important priority should be developing new medecines through scientific research, provinded that those kind of practices avoid the unneccesary animal suffer. The development of new kind of research tools without animal and the creation of an ethical dode (common an consensual) could be some of the keys to solving this situation.
Scientific reserchers
need to run experiments in order to achieve their goals. According to the rules
of an advanced society, the question to consider is: Are humans more valuable
than animals? Which of these (avoiding animal suffering or developing the scientific
knowledge? has a higher priority?
First of all, a modern society should show respect
for animals, avoiding their suffering,
because this is the behavior of modern and civilized societies. However,
animals don´t have the same rights as humans, and it could be very useful to
create an ethical code which analyzes and establish what the best practices are in using animals in the
laboratories.
Second of all, in recent times, alternative
research tools have been highly developed, especially in simulation models by
computing. That means there are a lot of research experiments which can be made
using mathematic models, instead of sacrificing living beings.
Despite that, most medical research, previously needs to validate new medicine
by experimenting on animals and as far as I know this is the only way to try out future solutions for our current diseases.
In conclusión, the most important priority should
be developing new medicines through scientific research, provided that those
kind of practices avoid unnecessary animal suffering. The development
of new kinds of research tools without animals and the creation of an ethical code
(common an consensual) could be some of the keys to solving this situation.
