Root Causes
There are several reasons as to why using animals in medical testing is wrong. However, none of these reasons will easily remove the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the animal testing issue is that most people believe that animals are inferior to humans. If we think that animals are inferior to humans it will always be difficult to see that the damage to animals is wrong and unethical. Another reason that people and scientists think that testing on animals is normal is because it is a method that has been used by many scientists even early scientists like Aristotle, the status quo will not change when it’s readily accepted by everyone. Many scientists also believe that the elimination of animal testing will set back the development of essential medical services, medicines and treatments.
