Animal testing. C2

Nowadays it's normal to use animals for scientific experiments, which are slaughtered after being used in some ___  experiment. This type of experimentation is legal in most of the countries in the world. But, there are a lot of debates on this is ethical or not.

On the one hand, experiments with animals is good because is possible to find new drugs to cure some diseases, such as cancer or VIH. And it's logical that this can't be done with humans, because I don't believe that any human be submitted volunteer to experiment with them. Therefore, it's good to find new drugs.

On the other hand, I said before that any human will be submitted volunteer to experiment with them, but, if we experiment with animals, do we asked them if we can experiment with them? No. Therefore, the animals can't express their opinion. In addition, they can't tell us if the experiment is causing pain or not, and any animal has is right to live and live free and wild, not enclosed in a laboratory.

In conclusion, there are many views in this topic, and it's a topic that will always be in discussion. In my opinion, animal testing isn't ethical, but on the other hand, I think that if we don't experiment with animals, perhaps we can't find a cure to some diseases. But, perhaps, life is made so that there is a balance between humans and animals, and perhaps we are breaking this balance, using animals to save human lives.
