__ **Animal Testing** __

Animal testing promotes life saving medical research, can be used in a positive way, and has helped humans find cures for deseases and other scientific

needs. "Without animal testing, medicine as we know it today wouldn't exist." (Pro-Test). Before any new drugs can be released into the medical market

they must be FDA approved, and there are many regulations that come with being approved. Animal testing began in 384-322 BCE, when people first began

to experiment on living animals. "Animals have been used throughout the history of scientific research." (History of Animal Testing). Galen, a second-

century physician in Rome, dissected pigs and goats, was known as "the father of vivisection". The general definition of Animal Testing is "the use of non-

human animals in scientific experimentation." (Animal Testing).
