Animal testing is something that has been done for many years for several different reasons. It has been used since the dawn of medicine by physicians and scientists. From biomedical research to testing cosmetics, people claim that animal testing is necessary to benefit people in satiating their need for certain products as well as saving lives. There is an idea that animals  \nare the best way to find treatments and cures for people, but the treatment of animals is  \nconcern for some members of society. Society is feeling more and more that animals  \n-  \nof  \nhave as much right to live freely in this world as humans do, and our obligation to see to  \nthis makes animal testing a societal problem. Due to these concerns and others, there  \nhave been several laws and acts formed to protect animals and minimize their suffering.  \nAnd with the advances of technology and other discoveries, the question of the necessity  \nof animal testing is becoming an issue for animal activists and lovers everywhere. In re  \ngards to animal testing for biomedical research and medical progress, some people claim  \nthat there is no other way to test for the safety and lifesaving properties of products used  \nfor humans. At the same time, there are people that feel there is a way to get what we  \nneed for research without using animals as subjects. The future of medicine and biomedi-  \ncal research should not rely on animals for testing. Instead, we should use alternative test-  \ning methods and work toward making different lifestyle choices.  \nProblem  \nAnimal testing has been deemed necessary for many reasons.
