Advantages of Animal Testing in Medical Research
Medical Research involving animals has dramatically improved the health of the human race. Without animal testing the cure for polio would not exist and diabetics would suffer or die from their disease. Despite these benefits, some people believe that animals should not be used for testing medical techniques and drugs.
What is your opinion friends?

Man is no doubt very selfish. If we only think about human race we will definitely say that Animal testing for Medical research is OK. but we should also give some consideration to this thing that Animals are ofcourse living beings and they should not be treated in a cruel way. They are not Human thats right But we should behave like Human to them. At one side we raise the slogan of SAVING THE WILD LIFE and ANIMALS NOT TO BE TREATED CRUELLY . and on the other side we use them for our so called research work.
Being a Human I will always appreciate the research work in the medical field but still when it comes to the wastage of so many Animal lives in that process I really take pity to that.
