As technology and industrialization progresses to the boundaries of human knowledge, medical researches and studies are also joining the race. Over the years, the race for the preservation and insulation of the human life from various diseases and viruses has been threading on. And by this time, a high percentage of human life has been saved from severe diseases and death due to the conducted experimentations and studies of scientists and experts. And not all of this would have succeeded if not for the continued conduction and testing of researches primarily on animals.
The process of conducting research on animals and consequently using them as means for understanding diseases and formulating ways to prevent and cure them has brought the high rate of progress of the world in the aspect of medicine. Very important antidotes and ways of prevention and cure have been achieved due to animal testing. With the help of animal research, progresses such as the discovery of the polio vaccine, heart surgery, kidney transplants and other cure for certain diseases have been attained.
Moreover, due to animal testing and continuous research of experts, treatments for deadly diseases and viruses such as diabetes and diphtheria have been accomplished. And by this time, animal research will be very important to the coming researches to be conducted to further widen the borders of he human knowledge about medicine. The importance of animal testing is for the experts and scientists to the effectiveness and safety of newly acquired treatments and diagnosis for certain diseases.
Since newly manufactured medicines and antidotes are being tested first on animals, the first human who will be acquiring the already tested treatments will be assured of feeling better and safety will be assured because of the animal testing conducted. Also, if there would be side-effects, it will already be known by the experts and will be first observed on animals due to the primary testing. And by that, they can already make changes so as to be fit for human utilization.
Also, the use of animals in testing is really vital for the experts to be familiarized with the processes and the live environment in the case of practice of surgical techniques and processes. By today, still no computer models and programs could easily substitute to the flesh, muscles and live organs that are seen in animals. Due to the complexity of the organs and organ-systems of the living organism such as animals and humans, mere observation is not that accurate and easy for the scientists to predict what procedures should be done in live demonstration and true to life procedures already.
Though some are standing on the idea that the use of animals in the laboratories as subjects for research is morally incorrect, still the importance of this process can not be easily reduced to nothing. Because it is due to these animals testing, researches and experimentations that includes animals as research subjects that aids in the expansion of the human life and helps in the decline of the sufferings of human beings due to diseases and viruses.
