=[|Animal Testing: Science or Fiction?]=

This article gives examples of drugs that have been proven to work on animals but have caused many deaths to humans. It also talks about how studies could be done on human subjects or by using computers and other such technologies.

This shows that animal testing isn't always the best option and cant be taken as a reliable source of information. One example is the Arthritis drug Vioxx it was pulled out of the market in 2004 because it caused as many as 140,000 heart attacks and strokes in humans. Yet when the tests were done on animals the drug seemed safe and beneficial to the heart and animals. So animal testing to a point is maybe good but we as humans have to stop and think are they really the best thing we could be testing our drugs on? It might be a big stretch but I think this could be linked back to the **__//Evolutionary//__** Theory. Back years and years ago we were lacking technology but the way we acted was also different. There was no such things as animal rights we were cavemen/women. If we wanted to beat, or abuse an animal we could and there was no issue with it, in a sense it was survival of the fittest. So maybe as we developed and evolved over the years to where we are now some of those genes from back in the caveman times are still within some of us. We could still feel the need to play and have control over something besides our selves. Some people could have chosen to test on animals to fix that need.
