Every year, thousands of medicines are tested on animals. Is this necessary or is it

something we can avoid?

On the one hand, research on animals has brought us many benefits. It helped us discover

ways to help people and other animals live healthier lives in the future. Moreover, scientists

claim that there is no other way to test if certain drugs are safe for living beings.

On the other hand, many of these experiments cause pain to animals. Animals have rights

too and it's cruel to make them suffer. Furthermore, not all animal testing has brought benefits to

human beings.

To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and against animal testing. Nowadays,

scientists try to make experiments as humane as possible. However, I believe that animal testing

is cruel and scientists should keep trying to find other methods to test new drugs.

Then complete the box.
