For centuries, animals have been used in medical research. Since 1875, animal experimentation has been an ongoing heated debate on whether experiments on animals are ethical. At the very start, the movement against animal testing focused mainly on the "inhumanity of hurting and killing living being...

This paper endeavours to delineate the discourse concerning the necessity of animal experimentation. Using the utilitarian approach (cost-benefit analysis), the benefits of animal experimentation (vivisection) to society, especially in the field of medical research, outweigh the unavoidable costs. W...

Animal experimentation has been practiced for centuries to further our knowledge of the workings of the human body and to find cures for diseases (Chang 1998, para 1) . There is much contention in regard to animal testing despite its longtime practice in the United States and beyon...
