Question 1 pts
Read the following text and use the information to answer the
questions below.
Animal Testing and Medicine
Animal testing is present in the history of biomedical research. The Greek
Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC) and Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), performed animal
experiments. Likewise, Galen (129 - 217 AD), a Greek giant in the history of
medicine, conducted animal experiments to advance the understanding of
anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology. The Arab physician Ibn Zuhr
introduced animal testing as an experimental method for testing surgical
procedures before applying them to human patients in twelfth century Moorish
Spain. In recent years, even though animal testing is regarded necessary in
discovering various cures, its practice for biomedical research has come under
severe criticism by animal rights groups since they consider animal testing cruel
and unnecessary.
Some people claim experiments on animals are necessary to advance medical
and biological knowledge. In 1937, an American pharmaceutical company
created a preparation of sulfanilamide called ‘Elixir Sulfanilamide’, using
diethylene glycol (DEG) as a solvent. DEG was poisonous to humans, but the
company's chief pharmacist was not aware of this. He simply added raspberry
flavoring to the sulfa drug and then product was marketed. The preparation
poisoned and killed more than a hundred people. Another tragic drug fiasco
occurred in the late 1950s and early 1960s with thalidomide. It was found to have
an inhibitory effect on morning sickness, and hence, thousands of pregnant
women took the drug to relieve their symptoms. Consequently, more than 10,000
children in 46 countries were born with malformations. The drug was withdrawn in
1961 and 1968 after a long campaign. These incidents and others illustrate the
harm to humans from the use of substances not first tested on animals and
underline the importance of animal experimentation to prevent human tragedy.
Those against, contend that the benefit to humans does not justify the harm to
animals. Some products do not pose any danger to humans, but medical
personnel still perform tests on animals to see the results. These “just in case”
tests kill animals for no cause. Additionally, many experts argue that results from
animal testing may generate at least two or more different outcomes. Humans
