Is it ethical to experiment with animals?
In my opinion it is hard question to answers, people uses animals for their experiment to improve on certain fields of studies. Animals are often test on new medicines, and by observing the chemical and physical reactions of the animals could then determine whether the medicine is suitable for human. It decreases the risk of harming the human body, and it secures the effectiveness of the medicine. No doubt that animal testing brings a huge impact and improvement of human technology, especially in medically industry, scientist then could discover new kinds of cure of medicine to improve the living of human beings. In my personal view, although animal experiments are helpful, I feel that it is unethical, animals even though they don’t speak but I believe they have feelings, they would also feel pain the same way humans do. Animals may seem to be lower class than us, but they have lives just like we do. Also, testing certain species might cause extinction or damage the environmental chain. I think that animal experiments are beneficial to the human society, but it’s unethical because we’re damaging lives to gain our own improvement.
Can psychological research be dangerous?
Psychological research can certainly be dangerous, it is a science that studies minds and thoughts therefore if it’s used incorrectly it could affect people’s mind and influences their behavior. It might cause a person to have negative thoughts or damage their mental health. Also, psychology is a new science and it’s still in an experimental stage, many predictions have to been made and if the predictions happens to be wrong it might effect the health of the testing subject. Testing on animals also threatens the life of the animals which might eventually causes danger to the environment.
