Should animals be used for research?
Before I chose the topic of my essay, I thought. All the names of those essays are similar to each other, and they are united by one small word of the world. By the way the world we can find many synonyms, who as he understands it: the earth, the universe, the planet, the contingent, the ball and so on can be enumerated endlessly. And this would seem to us our huge planet with a population of more than 7 billion people, a tiny, weak ball, in which, in our present time, there are such changes that in the near future it will simply not be enough. And we are all guilty of this – people. And the topic that I wanted to disclose, I think about our planet. As a human being and an animal, its components.
“Can the animals be used in research?” To say yes or no, this is impossible because of the fact that now in the world in which we live, not everything is easy and simple, it would seem that man – as a rational being on this planet, creates everything necessary for the means of life. In other words, it creates favorable conditions for itself. Like all normal, modern people, I also have a Face book page that I visit 1/3 of my day. And recently, I watched a short cartoon, I do not remember whose production, the essence of which is that.
As a person after his origin begins to gradually use the resources of the land for his residence. And each time as time goes by, he wants more and better and he goes ahead, destroys all the living and the best, leaving behind only one garbage that accumulates more and more on the ground and the person no longer notices that he is every time for himself exhausting all resources, kills the planet. And here you can definitely say, no, not only that he destroys animals for clothes and food and still wants to study.
And with this expression, I want to say these words. And people who are involved in the protection of animal rights, a throat would have ripped you up for such an attitude. It remains to add the words of Futurama: “I connected the DNA of all the evil animals of the world in order to create the most cruel … they turned out to be a man! “I think these words are correct. Animals are part of our planet, nature. As well as we, they also have the right to existence, freedom, to a healthy life. And we experiment with them, put different experiments, infect the most terrible viruses, bacteria and kill and then with a sense of pride, we praise ourselves that the experiment was a success and we again defeated some disease by inventing an effective treatment.
Or the worst research failed because of the death of the animal, we again undertake the next, without feeling any guilt in front of them. This is really very cruel. But my other I say that we can use in animal studies. And I do not know, maybe it’s inside of me saying, my selfishness?. This year I graduated from the medical academy, I’m a doctor and now I’m studying and working on the development of preventive measures for infections associated with the provision of medical care. All the years that I spent during my studies, on the practices we were in. The same hospitals of different profiles, different ages of people with these diseases, with which our medicine has not yet found any medical treatment.
And each time to see the faces of the sick, suffering from pain, asking doctors to create a miracle and how to help them so that they can continue to live. In the expectation of waiting, relatives, close sick people, good news that the disease has won and you will have a long happy life. Or it even happens that from your own people close to you, if someone gets sick the soul breaks, when it hurts, they pray that everything is good for them, so that medicine opens new ways of treating all diseases on earth. And so, in such cases, I think we should understand what we could use in animal studies.
But here, too, there is a contradiction of the fact that animals are not to blame for everything in this, which people suffer from incurable diseases, that it’s not the planet in which we live that is at fault. And all of us are guilty of this, we are those fruits that we reap when we do not use the resources of the earth rationally. We ourselves are harboring our own consumption products: soil, water, air. We ourselves change, our genetics, mutate and of course we are born, then sick, then blind and deaf.
But if we blame ourselves, and every ill person says – “so you must, it’s your own fault.” This is wrong, because because of the actions of those people, thanks to which we now live in this way, they are also not guilty. Losing all life, they tried to improve their own or our human world. And that’s why, most of all, we need the help of animals, for research that could help us live.
But since they do not talk, they can not say “You can or can not use me.” We should gratefully accept this. Show care, feed, look after, treat. No wonder they say: felled a tree, in exchange, plant two new ones. And I will focus on the fact that we can use animals in research. But this must be done rationally and responsibly and in return, at least to other animals, to do well.
