    I believe that when it comes to animal testing, there should be ethics involved when choosing the animal to test with. From the various responses of my classmates, many have mentioned researchers come up with the least painful methods of testing. Animals from the primate family are ideal for testing due to their closeness to humans. However, many of the research that are done are primates can be painful. So to what extent can we use primates in research to solve issues pertaining to humans with the least painful methods? Are there other animals we can test? Or are there other non-invasive methods we can use while still getting quality research?
