Is animal testing morally wrong?
Around the world, animals are used to test products ranging from shampoos to new drugs to treat cancers. Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and anaesthetics all rely on animal testing, and British law states that any new drug must be tested on at least two different species of live mammal.
Surely this can't be necessary? Animals have as much right to life as humans and modern technology must be able to provide an alternative.
Is it morally wrong to use animals, or is it difficult to ignore the fact that operations on them helped develop techniques such as organ transplants and open-heart surgery?
Do we need animal testing to fight against diseases and to advance medicine? Have your say.
