loss of vision after glaucoma surgery will soon be tried on patients. This was made possible
using rabbits. Following successful studies on mice and rats, a vaccine for malaria is now being
tested on people.
There is a wealth of evidence showing that animal models are not accurate and cannot be
relied upon for safety testing and disease research. Scientists and doctors recognize that while
animals are biologically very similar to human beings, they are not identical. It is unlikely that
most of the millions of lab animals that are killed yearly will have contributed to saving human
life. For cosmetics and household products, animal testing is morally wrong.
Peter Singer stated, To be opposed to what is going on now it is not necessary to insist that all
animal experiments stop immediately. All we need to say is that experiments serving no direct
and urgent purpose should stop immediately, and in the remaining fields of research, we should,
whenever possible, seek to replace experiments that involve animals with alternative methods
that do not. Animals may not have a voice, but they do feel physical and mental pain.
Experiments on animals are not conducted for fun and serious efforts are being made to eliminate
animal testing.
