What are the Ethical Concerns Associated with Animal Testing?
Despite its importance, animal testing raises several ethical issues:
Animal Welfare: The use of animals in research often involves pain, distress, or lasting harm. Ensuring humane treatment is a major concern. Regulation and Oversight: There are stringent regulations and guidelines to ensure that animal testing is conducted ethically and only when absolutely necessary. Alternatives: There is ongoing research into alternative methods, such as in vitro testing and computational models, to reduce the reliance on animal testing.
