This summary provides an overview of three documents related to animal testing:
1) The first document discusses how animal testing has helped increase biological understanding and the development of safer medicines through testing on animals before humans. However, the response expresses disagreement with animal testing on ethical grounds.
2) The second document argues that while animal testing has benefits, it should still be stopped due to animal rights violations from painful experiments without consent. Alternatives to animal testing are available.
3) The third document outlines a new alternative to animal testing using complex engineered tissue samples that could reduce reliance on animals and produce more reliable results than animal testing. This was motivated by concerns over the validity of animal-based findings.

Quigley, Ian. "Animal Testing." Animal Sciences. Ed. Allan B. Cobb. Vol. 1. New York: Macmillan Reference USA, 2002. 28-30. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 8 May 2016. URL https://librarylink.uncc.edu/login?url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE %7CCX3400500022&v=2.1&u=ncliveuncchet&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w&asid=df94b 4d12bb9e7b4f5a7f2f099c008c6 Summary: This article shows the perspective behind animal testing. Throughout the article it is claimed that animal testing increases the understanding of the biological sciences and the work of the body. According to the article, animal testing helps in biomedicine, by serving in developing more accurate medicines with fewer side effects. Furthermore, depending on the article animal testing is also used for the protection of the humans, to have the least side effects as possible while testing on them. For an example, Thomas E. Starzl in the 1960s experienced the organ transplant pioneer on dogs before humans.
The article showed that other alternatives and suggestions have been recommended for scientists, but may not be as feasible. According to the article
no scientist is cruel and or nasty to seek the suffer of animals unnecessarily.
However, the article claims that it is certain that experiments on animals benefits the humans by giving more accurate data than other method. Response: Personally, I come to believe that animal testing does help the understanding of the biological sciences by exploring the animal body. Moreover, I come to find it reasonable that animal experiments provides plenty of information regarding the way a body reacts to certain medicine or treatment. However, I come also to deeply believe that animal experiments and testing is so cruel and nasty.
My religion taught me to have some sympathy to animals and treat them
good and with justice. Animals as humans they have feelings and motives that drive them. As humans they have memory and feel pain. But unlike humans it is hard for them to express their feelings and defend themselves. I think determination and practice leads to better results. Leads to perfection. With determination and practice humans can develop the other methods and exceed the animal testing results. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Save the Animals: Stop Animal Testing." Lone Star College. Nov. 14. Web. 08 May 2016. Summary:
The Save The Animals: Stop The Animal Testing article indicates that animal testing is beneficial; it does help the humans to afford better technologies and medicines. Yet, animal testing must be stopped and banned. The article shows the reasons behind the requests of stopping animal testing. It is believed and proven that animal testing violates the animal rights within the article.
It is explained that animals has no choice or voice to express their
thoughts and choices. Animals did not decide to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of us, humans. Animals probably are driven against their well. But they have nothing to do about it. Most of the times animals are exposed to painful and harmful experiments and treatments. Also, the pain animals are exposed to in the studies does not bring enormous good to humans. There is no need to experiment on animals while other alternatives are available. According to the article several companies have released products without the use of animals and have chosen to test their products in different ways. Many think that animal testing is necessary and reasonable. But it is not while other alternatives are available. Response: Honestly, I come to agree with the words and perspective of the article. I do know that animal testing is kind of beneficial, and does bring some good to the humans. Yet, I believe that animal testing is not justified, and not fully reasonable.
From my perspective, animal testing must be stopped for the sake of
animals and their rights. During experiments animals are exposed to high level of pain. Animals are exposed to both, physical pain and mental pain.
The sad part that animals can not express themselves and declare their opinion on the situation. Moreover, can not defend themselves. All what animals can do, is set down there and feel pain in loneliness. So I believe animal testing should be stopped and humans start using the other alternatives and develop them. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Feder, Barnaby J. "Saving the Animals: New Ways to Test Products." The New York Times. The New York Times, 2007. Web. 08 May 2016. Summary: In this article, new techniques and methods to test products are given. The new alternative method that is expected to reduce the usage of animal testing method is kind of complex. The technology is called engineering tissue samples. This technology requires developed computers and software. Most probably this alternative will need huge budget, and takes time to be fully developed to give accurate results.
The main reason of this attempt, the effort to shift to other method of testing products is due to the many concerns that question the beneficial of the animal testing. Lately the reliability of animal testing has been an issue, because twenty five percent of the drugs that are being tested on animals have failed.
Response: I believe bringing a new method to the table is way too good. However, I am not looking for benefits to human in terms of money and better money management. I am exploring the method from different perspective. I am looking from the angle that looks for the benefit of animals. Such method would eliminate animal testing or at least reduce animal testing. If someone is looking at the situation in terms of money and gathered data it is also beneficial to shift. The engineering tissue samples would deliver better results and better medicines that are less expected to fail.
