I scan my access card and walk through a set of double doors, past the exam rooms and a door labeled organic waste. I enter a complex and intricate maze of dark corridors. Doors indicate the dog testing, swine feeding lab and primate testing environment. Looking into dark rooms; we can see the cages that once housed the chimpanzees. The sole purpose of this area is animal testing. This area, one of the most secure on campus, has a separate dock and security cameras at every turn. I had the opportunity to work in the animal laboratories of one of the largest companies in the world. This speech is my argument about animal testing and why the state should allow animal testing for the good of humanity but should limit unnecessary suffering to animals. I had the opportunity to work in classified animal testing laboratories and see the animals. The tests carried out in these laboratories are all carried out keeping in mind the health and safety of the animal. However, I have signed a secrecy contract and am therefore unable to reveal the name of the company or the tests carried out. In this article, animals do not include humans but all other species of the kingdom Animalia. The question arises as to what should be the state's policy regarding animal testing? Should we grant total freedom or not test animals? In this article, I will argue that state policy should be to give researchers carte blanche as long as they advance science. This writing aims to propose a policy regarding animal testing that should be used by our state. History and current opinions will be discussed to give context to the argument. I will explain the politics of utilitarianism and how my personal view is similar to that of a utilitarian...... middle of paper ......e that animals have a right to be treated ethically. This is what the three Rs are for. However, humans must continue to progress and think about the safety of our species. This is why a “global justification” must be formulated so that humans can maximize the utility and progress of our species.
