Do animal experiments work?
My Topic:
we should not experiment on animals
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to find either how effective is animal testing or reason why animal testing doesn't work.
Notes:
1. Chimpanzees, for example, animals with whom we share more than 98% of our DNA, don’t suffer from fatal forms of AIDS, hepatitis B or common malaria – diseases which kill millions of people every year.
2. Substances that are harmless to humans may be toxic to animals, and vice versa.
3. For example, chocolate is a food that is enjoyed by most people, but if dogs eat it, it can make them ill. And paracetamol is a useful painkiller for people, but is poisonous to cats in anything but the smallest quantities.
4. I think that animal testing cannot reflect human bodies perfectly through Notes 1 and 2.
5. It’s hardly surprising that the success rate for predicting harmful side effects from animal experiments is only 5-25%.
Final Thoughts:

Final Thoughts:
I think that although we can share a lot of genes with animals, animals cannot get human diseases. So, animals testing cannot relfect human condition perfectly. Nevertheless animal testing is necessary?
