Should animal testing be banned?

Whether the infliction of pain, suffering, and harm on animals in laboratory tests should be banned? For animal rights activists, this is usually the first, most urgent, step toward their goals of improving animal welfare. And, while many argue for a ban on animal testing of all kinds, banning the infliction of pain is generally considered the first, most important step.

Humans have a choice and thus responsibility to do no harm to animals. Many opponents of animal rights and supporters of testing cite the fact that animals kill each other without public outcry, and ask, why humans should be held to a higher standard? The answer is that humans have the capacity to make the choice to inflict pain on animals. Animals, having no free will, so do not have this same ability to choose. Therefore, if we determine that it is morally ethical to do no harm to animals, since we have the choice, it is our unique responsibility to do no harm.

It should not be banned because it has provided us great medical innovations that we would have never discovered it without animal testing. It is very funny that people love to eat cows, sheep, pigs, fish and many animals but asking for banned at animal testing.
