The only better alternative to using animals to understand how medicine and medical procedures work would be to use humans, and I know I am not volunteering my body while I am still alive. What happens if I bring my dog into an animal clinic because it is sick one day, only to find out they have never seen something like this sickness before, or they do not know how to treat the sickness that it has? My dog will die. Every day scientists are finding new ways to help not only humans, but animals too. The whole reason they are doing most of these tests on animals is because certain animals are really close to humans when it comes downs to organs and how the body works. Because of this closeness, animals ca ...

In the mid-19th century, most debilitating diseases resulted from bacterial or viral infections, but at the time, most physicians considered these ailments to be caused by internal derangements of the body. The proof that such diseases did in fact derive from external microorganisms originated with work done by French chemist Louis Pasteur and his contemporaries, who studied infectious diseases in domestic animals. Because of his knowledge of h ...

Those in defense of experimentation also tend to agree more with speciesism and not with Singer's views. A question raised by M.A. Fox in regard to this is "What if plants could suffer?". He asserts that we would not be obliged to assert their moral equality, so "the capacity to suffer does not by itself establish moral equality". Also, Fox brings up Singer's statement, "If we must inflict pain or starve, we would then have to choose the lesser evil. Presumably it would still be true that plants suffer less than animals, and therefore it would still be better to eat plants than to eat animals". This shows that the rights of humans to survive is more important than that of other species.
The issue of using animals for experimentation raises many questions, many more than can be covered on this web site. There are also levels at which people agree or disagree with animal experimentation. Most people, my self included, from what I have experienced, do not condone totally unnecessary scientific experiments that do not significantly benefit humans or animals. However, I do support necessary scientific experiments that will benefit humans or animals, and which are done with the utmost caution to keep the animal from suffering. I have very specific reason for this belief.
First, I tend to agree with speciesism. It is true that animals do experience pain, but in agreement with Fox's idea, this does not make it wrong to use animals. This does not include exploitation of animals for unnecessary luxuries such as fur. Humans are not significantly benefited by wearing animal fur (artificial fur can serve the exact same purpose), but they are benefited by the animal research that found a vaccine for polio, and both humans and animals have benefited from scientific experiments that have helped find a vaccine for rabies. However, I agree with speciesism because a line has to be drawn somewhere, and it can not be drawn with regard to the similarities, such as pain, between humans and animals. As stated earlier, what if plants could feel pain? How would it be possible to live if we then could not use plants either? One could say that we wouldn't experiment on plants, so we wouldn't be causing them to suffer to serve our own ends. But what if we wanted to walk across a lawn? Wouldn't that inflict pain on the plan ...
