Medical Discoveries From Animal Testing. 2020 that there was a shortage of the genetically modified mice that were needed. In the 12th Century Arabian physician Ibn Zuhr introduced animal testing as an experimental method for testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients. In 1628 William Harvey showed that blood flows through the circulatory system by dissection studies and experiments on living animals. Animal Testing and COVID-19.
For as long as doctors have investigated how our bodies function and how they are affected when we become ill discoveries in medicine have been made by studying animals. In one well-publicized experiment pigs were burned without anesthetic. The first premise says that animal research was a vital role for all medical advances which is fact-based. They say that even complex computers cannot model connections between molecules cells tissues organs organisms and the environment. Here is a list of medical breakthroughs attained through the humane treatment of animals rather than cruel experimentation. However it is not true because there are medical discoveries that are founded without the use of animal testing such as clinical research.
The discovery and development of new medicines vaccines and medical devices for people and animals is a long and complex process with a number of stages many of which involve animal experiments.
2 Zuhrs work showed research on animals in the medical field taking animal experiments beyond mere understanding and exploration of the body. The earliest references to animal testing are found in the writings of the Greeks in the 2nd and 4th centuries BC. The discovery and development of new medicines vaccines and medical devices for people and animals is a long and complex process with a number of stages many of which involve animal experiments. The Collaborative Approach to Meta-Analysis and Review of Animal Data from Experimental Studies CAMARADES has been at the forefront of conducting systematic reviews of animal studies. People who support animal testing argue that almost every medical discovery in the 20th century used animals in some way. Until such a discovery animals must continue to play a critical role in helping researchers test potential new drugs and medical treatments for effectiveness and safety and in identifying any undesired or dangerous side effects such as infertility birth defects liver damage toxicity or cancer-causing potential.
