Examine the arguments in favour of and against animal experiments, and come to a conclusion on this issue.

Intro
(General Facts)
It is implicit that the animal experimentation is one the most sensitive and debatable issues of contemporary world.


(Paraphrasing)
While a segment of people is of the opinion that there is no harm in carrying out experiments on animals, a popular stratum of society tend to believe that animals should not be used in testing as it is cruel, inhuman and unnecessary.

(Thesis statement)
Both the arguments should be properly investigated before reaching to a conclusion.

Para 1(first/ former View)
(Main Idea)
According to the first school of thought we must do tests on animals as it brings rich dividends to humans. For instance, many famous lifesaving drugs were invented in this way, and animal experiments may help us to find more cures in the future, possibly even a cure for cancer and AIDS.

(Extending idea)
They further elaborate that the animals which are used are not usually wild but are bred especially for experiments. Therefore, they believe it is not true that animal experiments are responsible for reducing the number of wild animals on the planet. And it is, in fact, completely justified to carry experiments on animals

Para 2(Second/latter view)
However, the opposite camp also has some good arguments against animal experimentation.

(Main Idea)
Their first and foremost argument is that animal experiments are unkind and cause animals a lot of pain and sufferings. No civilized society would allow such barbarian acts to continue.

(Extending Idea)
1. In addition, they also feel that many tests are irrelevant not really important. According to them, animals are, for example, not only used to test new medicines but also new cosmetics, which could be tested on humans instead.

2. Another issue is that sometimes an experiment on animals gives us the wrong result because animals’ bodies are not exactly the same as our own. As a consequence, this testing may not provide the safety to human beings as it is claimed by its proponents.

Conclusion
(Concluding statement and personal opinion)
In conclusion, I am of the opinion, that the benefits of animal testing do not outweigh the disadvantages.

(Suggestion)
Therefore, it should not continue. It is not only unjustified but inhumane as well.
Although it may improve the lives of humans, it is not fair that animals should suffer in order to achieve this. Technology has advanced enough to look for other options. Animals should not be made scapegoats.
