Arguments for?  Practical:-  Vaccines – rabies, polio, MMR, TB  Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin, cancer treatments  Lab animals do react usefully  Development of surgical techiques  Test of organism, not just tissue  DNA match to primates  IT simulations not good enough Moral:- Human life of greater value Legislation protects lab animals Why so different from farming? Few animals feel pain prior to death.

Sample exam question...  The development of new medicines highlights disagreements about the scientific value of testing new drugs on animals.
