You may ask yourself why scientists and doctors test on animals. According to Dr. Thomas Dixon, 99% of the genes of humans are shared with

chimpanzees, and a little less with other monkeys. These animals are the closest things to humans, and they may react the same way. "To ban animal

experiments would be to paralyze modern medicine, to perpetuate human suffering and to endanger human health by allowing products onto the market

before testing them for toxicity" (Dixon 00'.) There is a law in many countries, such as the U.S and the UK, that all prescription drugs must be tested on

animals before they are allowed onto the market so the humans are safer (Dixon 00'.) All animal experiments and licensed laboratories are closely

monitored to minimize animal suffering. And trained officers make unannounced inspections (Dixon 00';The Home Office 09'.) Animal Testing has

made products that range from skin creams and shampoos to cures for diseases. Animal testing has helped humans get cured from dangerous diseases

and other needs.
