Cures and Creatures Great and Small
People against animal experimentations argue that it’s a not moral, evil action that should be stopped. Jeremy Bentham asks “can they reason, talk or feel pain?” Answer is yes they do and can. Scientists that use rats say they have a similar nervous system to humans. Pain is an evil that should not be placed on a child, adult or animal. People that wish to continue experimenting say that society has an obligation to minimize harm and to maximize benefits. Stopping would result in bad consequences. Even though scientists try to minimize pain by using pain killers, those sometime interrupt with results so they can not always be used. They say the benefits out weigh the suffering of animals. Experimenting produces good results even at the cost of inflicting pain on animals.
