| | Animal Testing |
 | | In the past, animals were thought to be the perfect specimen to test on (especially vertebrates) because of how similar their bodies are to human and because they were not considered our equals and did not appear to have a conscientious mind. | | | A model animal for students to practice technique on and the development of more humane testing practices are both outstanding ideas. | | | To be directly inhumane, the infliction of distress on the test animal is "an unavoidable consequence of the procedure employed". |

| | Animal Testing |
| | If we apply Rambam's understanding that we are not allowed to cause emotional pain to animals, then it might mean that test animals should even be given special attention, such as human companionship and touch. | | | Consequently, Jewish tradition strongly supports the practice of using animals to test drugs that could potentially save lives and cure illnesses. | | | The Jewish Nature Center suggests that Jewish law would not support the practice of causing animals pain and death in order to test the safety of a product that is not necessary to improve the quality of life. |

| | Animal experiments are misleading and more costly than alternatives like in vitro (test tube) experiments. | | | Animals other than humans, no matter how similar, are not close enough approximations to justify using the results to find human cures. | | | There are a number of cruelty free choices that we can make in our everyday lives to ensure that we personally do not contribute to animal experimentation. |

| | About PETA >> FAQs >> Animals Used for Experimentation |
| | Animal tests are primitive, and modern technology and human clinical tests are much more effective and reliable. | | | Certainly, some medical developments were the result of cruel animal tests, but that does not mean that the developments would not have been possible without animal testing or that the primitive techniques used in the 1800s are still valid today. | | | A painless death at an animal shelter is a far cry from a life of severe pain and deprivation and an agonizing death in a laboratory. |

| | Animal Testing |
| | The reason that animal testing is appropriate is that there are regulations in place to minimize testing and pain, the alternatives are insufficient for now, and most importantly the information obtained from experimentation is irreplaceable. | | | PETA's stance is that animal life is too valuable to risk on experimentation especially when there are alternatives, such as false human skin grown in culture, computer programs, and using human subjects. | | | The matches are never perfect, but animal experiments are a good place for researchers to start looking for answers to questions that are important to human health care. |

| | Animal Testing |
| | Animal testing is used to measure how much of a drug is absorbed into the blood, how it is broken down chemically in the body, the toxicity of the drug and its breakdown products (metabolites), and how quickly the drug and its metabolites are excreted from the body. | | | Generally, two or more species (one rodent, one non-rodent) are tested because a drug may affect one species differently from another. | | | In animal testing, drug companies make every effort to use as few animals as possible and to ensure their humane and proper care. |
