animal testing is greatly beneficial due to the achievements testing on animals has made for medicine. Through the literature review we analyzed the Royal Society’s article on the research of animals. The Royal Society is a learned society for science in London, England, where research and discussion takes place. The society feels “everybody has benefited immensely from scientific research involving animals and that virtually every medical achievement in the past century has depended directly or indirectly from this type of work” (Royal Society, 2002). Though it is essential for them to only use animals when no other alternative exists, the society feels they are necessary for medical achievements. Whether it is for finding new antibiotics or treatments for cancer, animal testing has been used. The Royal Society feels using animal testing reduces human suffering and is therefore justifiable. Trials for drugs are necessary to test on animals to discover if drugs are safe for humans. Animal testing generates valuable information about how new drugs react inside a living body. Therefore the royal society feels animal testing is necessary for the well-being of society (Royal Society, 2002). The UCLA, as mentioned in the introduction, holds similar views that animal testing is not only critical but that essentially all medical breakthroughs have depended on testing on animals.
