There is an creature that lives two to three years, is unable to vomit, has no gall bladder, will give birth to 100 young each year, can synthesize Vitamin C in it's body, and could be up to three billion times more cancer-prone than a human. That creature is a mouse and it is used for scienti...

Science and Society Society's image of science and scientists as well as the public's misunderstanding and often fascination with science clearly demonstrate the influence science and society have on each other. Certain stereotypical images created by the media and instilled in the public's minds...

Animation as an art form has been around for almost one hundred years. From the earliest days of hand-drawn cels, individual pictures strung together, to the complex rendering of 3-D virtual worlds, animation packs peoples\' lives. Do you wonder how the computer-animated movies are made or want to ...

It\'s not a new thing. For many centuries scientists and testers in research have used animals of all kinds. Most of the animals are small ones like rodents - rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. Some dogs, cats and a variety of goats, monkeys, and rabbits have also been used. The animal rights issue ...

Over the last decades, animal rights activists have been strongly protesting against the use of animals for various purposes. But one has to mention that these activists often don¡t have any scientific facts to prove their statements as they mostly concentrate on the ethical side of the issue an...

There are several hundred science books available today that any research team could easily get their hands on. There's no reason why a scientist should harm an animal for the sake of an experiment. Almost everything that we could possibly find out about a creature has already been discovered, and...

Mankind has deceived its furry, finned and scaled friends by its disgraceful disregard for their basic rights as living beings. Nowhere is it written that humans, while perhaps the most developed of all species, are the rulers over their nonspeaking counterparts. Whether or not a person believes ...

Traditionally, animals have been used to ensure the safety of our consumer products and drugs. Yet around the world, scientists, regulators and animal protectionists work together to develop alternatives to their use. The use of animals in the life sciences dates back to ancient Greece and the earli...

Romantics of the nineteenth century believed that not all sciences are beneficial to man; when one strays from morality and scientific method, the effects are damaging. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exemplified this belief: science, though not inherently deleterious, becomes injurious when ethica...

One of the most touchy aspects of our relationship with animals is the use of animals in laboratory sciences. Some manufactures of cosmetics and household products still conduct painful and useless tests on live animals, even though no law requires them not to. Some people, called anti-vivisectionis...

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...

Politics are ideas that are thought to be complex and perplexing. Nevertheless, these complex and perplexing ideas are shined throughout many novels. These ideas may be hidden and sometimes difficult to discover, but they are there. In George Orwell's Animal Farm, 1984, and Aldus Huxley's ...

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...

Cruelty of Animal Testing Every year, millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine the safety of cosmetics and other products. Substances such as eye shadow and soap are tested on rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, and other animals, despite the fact that the test res...

Cruelty means inflicting pain and causing suffering. Animal cruelty is a nationwide problem rapidly growing in today's society. Animals are being beaten and starved everyday and millions of helpless animals die each year because of heartless owners. There are many forms of animal cruelty; so...

Most of us in this room have probably not suffered from a debilitating illness or a life-threatening disease. But maybe you know of someone who has. Has either of your parents or grandparents been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or some other illness? Has someone you know had surg...

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...

Genetics. A science that has through the ages been the center of not only scientific debate but religious and morale ethic discussion. Recent genetics has caused uproar in such discussions especially in the science of the ever growing genetic cloning. Since the successful cloning of many animals ...

Animal testing has been used since the beginning of scientific medicine research and most of the advancement in medical science has been related to the use of animal testing. Without the help of animal research, many would not have survived diseases that were once fatal to the human population. Beli...

The European Sea Floor Observatory Network is establishing a network of long-term, sea floor observatories at key provinces around the European area in relation to physical, chemical, oceanographic and biological phenomena. ESONET is focused in the ocean margin areas which are less well known and ge...

Many animal activists are disappointed with the pace at which animal testing is being reduced, refined, and especially, replaced (the "Three Rs" of the alternatives approach). Considerable progress has been made, however, in the science of alternatives and in the attitudes among toxicologists and co...
