I recently overheard a discussion in my history class about animal testing. One person insisted that you should never hurt animals because they are so cute and cuddly. The other claimed that if scientists did not test on animals then humans would be the only victims left to torture with new concoctions. Although humans could very well be tested on, we can't take the risk of spreading new diseases to each other. Animal testing, though very harmful to species of all kinds, should be allowed for certain ailments.

Without humans, maintenance for animals and technology would be left alone and eventually deplete. To say that you want to volunteer for testing of a new product is total suicide, whether you need it medically or just need a couple of bucks. Think about it, though you could make some dough off of a single injection or abduction, you would be taking a risk too risky for some. It is very true that we support the livelihood of animals and they support us, in some ways umentionable, but it could be a matter of life or death in situations that could've been left alone. Finding way to sustain human beings is what some scientists have to do, so let them.
