Two months ago I went to see the film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” at the cinema. This film was about chimpanzees exposed to animal research to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. As a result, one of the chimpanzees tested with the Alzheimer's cure developed enhanced genetic intelligence that led to the freedom of the other captive chimpanzees. Although this film was a science fiction film, there were scenes throughout the film depicting cruelty towards chimpanzees. These scenes made me worry about how inhumane people are towards research chimpanzees. Even with an ethical sense, I believe that animals should deserve respect and consideration. However, there were some scenes in the film that made me think about how animals like chimpanzees are an essential part of human life. The chimpanzees in the film were experimented on to find a cure for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. This demonstrated that the chimpanzees themselves suffered to promote the well-being of humans. This exemplary film begs the question: should animal testing be allowed? This question introduces controversy on two topics of whether animal testing should be allowed or not. In addition to this question, researcher Jerod M. Loeb, in the article “Human vs. Animal Rights: In Defense of Animal Research” cares about animals, but cannot hinder improved medicine or other advances in the well-being of humans. On the other hand, philosopher Tom Reagan, who contributed to the book “Ill-Gotten Gains,” is against animal testing. He argues that conducting animal testing “exacts the grave moral price of failing to show proper respect for the hereditary value of animals, whatever the benefits for research… at the heart of the article… anti-animal cruelty activists, often refers to an optimistic step toward advancing scientific knowledge that prevents future diseases in humans and animals. It's time to express this pain more than anything else to an important topic that revolves around the world, "animal experimentation". Many might dispute; others might agree with the same idea. Ultimately, I respect both beliefs; both Loeb and Reagan bring powerful arguments to support their beliefs. However, Loeb's dynamic belief motivated me to believe that animal testing should be attempted and should not be hindered. During this journey of disagreements on both sides, animal testing has proven once again that it may be able to develop new medicines for the well-being of humans, also benefit animals and advance scientific knowledge to prevent future diseases..
