Animal Testing – Unethical?
So I have to analyze this article that talks about a pharmaceutical company that chose to perform its animal testing practices abroad (specifically in China) to avoid US laws. China has poor aniamal rights laws or no laws at all. The link to the article is the following: http://www.outsourcing-pharma.com/Preclinical-Research/PETA-accuses-Pfizer-of-denying-animal-testing-pledge
It’s not long. I would appreciate if you would please share your ideas and opinions on whether you think what they did is unethical or not and why. Thanks!
I’ll share my opinion as well as soon as I get some answers 
From my point of view, I think that animal testing is WRONG here or in China… but I’d just like to discuss a little more based on the article and see what you guys think.
From what I’ve read, animal testing guidelines are pretty lineant in China. Here in the US we have much better guidelines in place to assure the comfort of animals during the experiment, not only to satisfy them, but also to make sure the animals’ stress won’t affect the experiment results. If not for the sake of the animals, treat them better so your results aren’t skewed…
IMO, animal testing benefits many more animals than it harms and even benefits humans. It’s been worth while so far…think of all the lives we’ve saved through these experiments.
