When doctors cannot find a cure for an illness or ailment, it is never alright to experiment on human beings in order to find a cure for the illness, or ailment. What if the so called cure you made was not a cure at all? You cannot use humans to experiment on. What if while experimenting on them you take their lives? What do you do then? There are always other ways to experiment on whether the medicine is a cure or not. You can experiment on an animal that functions similarly to a human being. Why would you want to take a human life, when there are other options. Why would you want to take that risk, when you can do more work, and have the cure be a working one or one that needs more development. I would never want to think that the vaccines we got were only experiments, and not foul proof. Why bother taking them if you’re not sure that they will actually work. Why would you want to risk you’re life when it is not even near its end. I highly doubt anyone would. It seems ridiculous for this to even be a question. It just goes all against morals. It endangers the lives of anyone who would be trying this cure. Would it be alright if a doctor said I can not find a cure for cancer, so I’m going to experiment, and then experiment and the result would be making it worse on the patients who take it. That would be plain wrong. It should even be a question. In class we saw the doctors perform lobotomies. In my opinion that is immoral and should never have been done. Why try and mess with a humans brain, when it clearly was not working?
Although I agree with you that it is not right to experiment on humans, I disagree with you on the fact that we should experiment on animals. An animal might be genetically close to humans but it might be that one uncommon gene that causes a life, so why put an animals life in danger? Animals don't have a voice so we don't know how they fully feel after a vaccine. Animals don't have a voice so we have to be theirs.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is wrong to experiment on humans, and for a while i thought it would be okay to experiment on animals. Sophie's comment kind of changed my mind. Although there are some aminals very close to hmans they still have their differences. It is the same thing with humans ... they are not all the same, and people react inmany different ways to the same medicine. I feel it is immoral to test on any living being, but the fact of the matter is what other choices do scientists have in order to make the medicines efective enough.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you that experimenting on humans is not acceptable. Why would someone take some one's life away for a experiment that would not even work. Although i disagree with on one thing, as Sophie explained, we shouldn't experiment on animals. You are not going to find out if the cure worked properly from a animal or monkeys; "hu hu hu aaa" is all you are going to hear. Would you know if it worked from the monkey's saying?
