“It may be cruel, but it can help us understand the human condition,” runs the argument for animal testing. “Absolute rubbish”, (Fano)

Vivisection, (the act of cutting into or dissecting a living body) has been practiced since the beginning of scientific medicine. In the second half of the nineteenth century, experimentation on living animals became a quintessential part of physiology as an institutionalized profession (LaFollette). According to estimation by the American Medical Association, biomedical researchers use between 17-22 million animals each year (LaFollette). A sufficiently large enough number of animals are used in biomedical research to warrant a scientific and more evaluation of the practice (LaFollette).

Even when disagreeing about the moral appropriateness, parties on both sides of the debate assert the scientific validity of animal research
