Animals in Biomedical Research

"How can other decent citizens do these things? The National Vivisection Society says that they called his work" conditional ethical blindness "(Singer and Gruen 78-80). Due to the main concern of biological science, biologists have experimented with living animals to promote an understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology.

Over the years, scientists have solved many medical problems, cured diseases, and developed vaccines. All of this is done by using animals in biomedical research. Scientists conducting animal-based biomedical research recognize the importance of animal health and care being studied to produce accurate results. More than 20 million animals are used annually in biomedical research projects, more than 90% of which are mice, mice and other rodents. Rat is a valuable subject as the system of rats resembles humans and other animals in many ways. Animals are also prone to many diseases that affect humans. Rodents are not a good target In certain experimental techniques such as surgery, animals such as cats, dogs, nonhuman primates are used. Anesthesia is used every time surgery is done. If it is not for this research, then so many vaccines and antibiotics will not be found.

The use of animals in biomedical research has always played an important role in understanding basic biological processes and acquiring scientific knowledge to improve human and animal life quality. Recently the development and use of genetically modified animals has also given scientists the opportunity to better study the role of specific genes. And it created a new perspective to fight and treat diseases like gene therapy. Despite various advantages, the use of animals in biomedical research remains a controversial topic of true value. Animals' opponents used in all kinds of research believe that animal experiments should be abolished immediately (Festing and Wilkinson, 2007). On the other hand, there are laws that require scientists conducting animal-based research to ensure that their experiments are humanitarian.
