There has been a lot of examples of aminmal testing in our book and videos we have been watching lately in class. I looked up the pro's and con's of animal testing so I could see what side I agree with. One pro of animal testing in the article I found was that we share 99% of our genes with monkeys. Because of this, we can give them medicines and treatments, and most likely if it works on a monkey it would work on us. As I kept reading about that pro though, the next line said that it would be immoral for us to be doing these tests on humans. That just makes us sound selfish that we can do these horrible tests on the animals, and risk their life, but we won't do it on a human. That was the major pro and con that stood out to me. I still don't know what side I stand on because I understand both sides.
