  1. WHY ANIMAL RESEARCH?

    There are several reasons why the use of animals is critical for biomedical research: • Animals are biologically very similar to humans. In fact, mice share more than 98% DNA with us! • Animals are susceptible to many of the same health problems as humans - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. • With a shorter life cycle than humans ...

  2. Research using animals: an overview

    There is overwhelming scientific consensus worldwide that some animals are still needed in order to make medical progress. Where animals are used in research projects, they are used as part of a range of scientific techniques. These might include human trials, computer modelling, cell culture, statistical techniques, and others.

  3. Animal Research

    Animals provide a way to study the fundamental workings of the human body and explore how its basic building blocks—molecules and cells—work in health and disease. In doing so, researchers can unravel the most basic mechanisms that fuel illness. Animal models help researchers understand how the normal processes in molecules, cells, and ...

  4. Modernizing Medical Research to Benefit People and Animals

    Separating the scientific and ethical cases for modernizing medical research may now be an artificial distinction. The ability of medical research to benefit patients is, of course, an ethical question, and so animal research involves human, as well as animal, ethical considerations. Governments and other organizations that use public funds to ...

We also join the broader scientific community in our support of the robust oversight of animal research, including ...

  9. Animals in Medicine and Research

    In such situations, it is important to consider the aim of the research. In a study using laboratory animals to develop a new vaccine for use in humans, within-species differences may not be as important as in a study aimed at understanding typical behavior for that species. 13.5. Medical Advances Due to Animal Research

  10. Why Animals are Used in Research

    Many medical advances that enhance the lives of humans are developed from carefully planned and highly regulated research studies with animals. Good animal care and good science go hand in hand. NIH takes the involvement, role, and respectful use of animals in research seriously.

  11. We mightn't like it, but there are ethical reasons to use animals in

    In the state of Victoria, this constitutes only 0.02%. Medical history can vouch for the fact that the benefits from undertaking animal experiments are worth the effort in the long run and that ...

  12. Medical breakthroughs underpinned by animal research

    Medical breakthroughs underpinned by animal research. The use of animals in biomedical research helps researchers better understand the biological processes that are central to our health.

    A n estimated 26 million animals are used for research, testing, and education in the United States each year. More than 70,000 of them are nonhuman primates. New initiatives in the United States and abroad are seeking to replace animals with alternative models for ethical and scientific reasons. The Hastings Center has organized this ...

  17. Animal Experiments in Biomedical Research: A Historical Perspective

    The use of non-human animals in biomedical research has given important contributions to the medical progress achieved in our day, but it has also been a cause of heated public, scientific and philosophical discussion for hundreds of years. This review, with a mainly European outlook, addresses the history of animal use in biomedical research ...
