Animal Testing and Experimentation
First and foremost, I'd like anyone reading this to understand that I take a neutral stance on this topic due to the nature of its benefits and detriments.

With that being said:

What is your opinion or personal belief on the modern system of how animals are used regarding clinical experimentation?

Some of the methods government agencies and funded organizations practice include but are not limited to:



-Chemical Testing
-Surgical Operations
-Cell/Tissue Replacement/Replication
-Viral/Bacterial Injections
-Isolation Chambers
-Event Reaction Tests


The majority of people have their minds set on two opposite sides:

Animal Testing is necessary in order to study biological elements or viruses; within time, these can potentially help combat an epidemic saving even more animal's lives.
The future of veterinary medicine relies on this.


OR

Animal Testing is completely inhumane and unethical.
Other systems should be implemented or invented to test and study diseases such as a virtual virus replicator or artificial organic models of animals.


Here are some sources I used as a base for my topic; feel free to elaborate upon any of them. Keep in mind that this article serves as a fundamental entry point for this topic.

All opinions should be treated with a sense of understanding and respect.
One person's opinion doesn't entitle them as being "correct."
