Animal Testing in Disease Research, Is It Ethical?

Animal testing remains a significant and controversial aspect of medical research, raising important questions about scientific progress, animal welfare and ethical responsibility. The ethical debate centres on whether the potential benefits to human health justify the suffering experienced by animals during scientific experiments. Supporters argue that animal testing can provide valuable evidence where alternative methods are insufficient, while critics emphasise animal sentience, the moral responsibility to prevent unnecessary harm and the growing availability of alternative research technologies.
