             Each of the questions that are asked within this paper are following John Dewey's model for creating a judgment, he says "...the facts function as instruments for the construction value of judgment." So each of the questions asked and answered within this paper will be serving as a fact on which to base a judgment later on.
             Another animal testing question that can be asked is, how are complex and simple animal structures anywhere near the cellular base of a human system and how can a reaction in one be understood in another? To answer this question I looked to my old biology book, Anatomy and Physiology in Animals and Humans. The book outlines the similarities between certain animal species and different parts and systems in a human being. For example, the human cardiovascular system is very similar to the system in dogs and can therefore be a means to test certain drugs and their reactions to this one system. These tests on animals also give researchers the information necessary to go to the next step in testing, human trials. In order to complete any human test a series of animal tests must first be completed and submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval.
