With the advantages of biological technology, more and more therapies and new medicine were found out to try to eliminate dieases and help patients relieve their pain. All these achievements actually came from countless experiments on animals. Although in recent years, a lot of people are opposed to animal experiments and bring it into spotlight, I still support experiments on animals.
First of all, in some situations, we have no choice but to experiment on animals because we have to know how theose medicine will affect in bodies. In terms of economics, we act and choose in our self-interest. If we do one thing and its benefits are more than its costs, it is worthy to do. In other words, although animal experiments may scarifice a small number of animals, we can help a large amount of people. Second, from daily food to clothing such as meat and fur coat are all made from animals. It seems very cruel an unfair to animals, but it has become an indispensable part in our daily lives already.
Honestly, sometimes, I am also sympathetic over animals which are used for experiments; however, I just can't say that I am opposed to animal experiments with meat in my mouth. Before other better alternatives discovered, I still support experiments on animals.
