From my personal views I believe that animal testing is necessary for scientific research especially in medical devices, where the devices will be implanted on humans. At this time there is no simulation that can show how the medical device will truly behave in an individual so there must be an alternate form of testing that can prove that a device is safe for human use. Although I think animal testing is unethical to breed animals in cages only for the sole purpose of using them for science where they will inevitably die, it is a necessary evil at this time in order to secure the safety of human beings who will later on use the device. I think that all medical companies and research projects should be forced to follow the Good Laboratory Practices, as to ensure that animals are to be treated in the most humane way possible. I also think that in circumstances where controls can be erased from the experiment due to past research, they should be in order to minimize the sacrificing of animals for science. I think more regulations should be put in place such as a limit to the number of animals that can be sacrificed for a study and to the conditions that they will be kept in. Animal studies are necessary and can provide valuable insight, and they must be done because very few if any individuals will sign up to test a new device that has not been proven safe for use before. Alternatives would be advanced computer simulations that can mimic human body interactions and reactions with the devices. However, I do not believe these will be accurate enough for quite some time.
