Why America Should Ban Animal Testing(Reflection)

I totally agree with this article. Products shouldn't be tested on animals! I think they should be tested on humans that have donated their bodies to science and education.

When I went to the L.A County Fair last year, I went to the Human Body Exhibit. I asked if they used the bodies for product testing. They said that they rarely use bodies because the bodies really don't project the results that the scientists need. I asked them," Why do they use animals instead?" The guide explained that animals are more economical, they're "alive", and they project more and better results of the effect of the product. They also showed us a demonstration of how they test their products.

In the article, it states that there are many alternatives to animal testing. They're more economical than animals! Southern Adventist University of Collegedale, Tennessee uses minks in its biology labs. The minks used cost around $10 a piece, and they're reusable. This to me is more sufficent than animals. This animal testing is killing so many animals around the world. This is causing certain animals to become endangered, and even extinct.
