I. Introductiona. I'll start with a quote from John F. Lauerman: “Each year, scientists use millions of animals – mostly mice and rats – in experiments. The practice sparks heated debates about the morality and effectiveness of such research – and how to make it more humane. – John F. Lauermanb. Everyone here uses products that have been made safe for human use through the practice of animal testing. Some of these products include: sunscreens such as Coppertone, Crest toothpaste, Ivory soap and Windex.c. Animal testing makes the products we use every day safe or at least safer for humans. I'm here today to talk to you about the importance of animal testing and why it should continue to make the world safer for you and me. Throughout the history of biomedical research, animal testing has occurred (Animal Testing and Medicine). This dates back to early Greek physicians such as Aristotle and Erasistratus, around 350 BC. At the time, these two were performing experiments on live animals (animal testing and medicine).II. Bodya. The ethical side of animal experimentationi. Positive moral principles in summary.1. Scientists have an absolute obligation to experiment on animals to the extent that this constitutes an alternative to random and potentially harmful experimentation on human beings, and to the extent that such experimentation is a means of saving human lives. and to increase human vigor and efficiency (the ethics of animal experimentation) ii. It is therefore the duty of scientists to use animal experimentation as an instrument to promote social welfare (the ethics of animal experimentation).b. Is animal testing necessary to advance medical research?i. A comm...... middle of article ......y, but the use of animals in experimentation is heavily regulated (Rachel Hajar).III. Conclusiona. “Each year, scientists use millions of animals, mainly mice and rats, in experiments. The practice sparks heated debates about the morality and effectiveness of such research – and how to make it more humane. – John F. Lauermanb. As you listened to my talk, I hope you learned a little more about why we should continue to test products on animals to make the world safer and help keep consumers safe from harm. Without prior animal testing, you never know what a product can do. Crest toothpaste, Ivory soap and Windex, these are products you probably have in your home that are tested on animals and there are probably many others, animal testing is an integral part of your life and you probably didn't even know it. d. Thanks for listening.
