***The following is in response to the article "Why America Should Ban Animal Testing" by Glenn Gordon

Animal testing is cruel and outdated. It just doesn't make sense to use innocent animals in this stage of technology. Although we are still advancing we sometimes (rarely) NEED to test something on a body. That is where cadavers (human donors) come in. They actually CHOSE to be used in science.  

What in this article surprised you?

Nothing in this article surprised. I've seen and heard about all the horrors behind animal testing.

What evidence does the author use?

The author of the article is obviously well educated on the subject. He uses many examples to prove that animal testing is wrong. He lists humane alternatives like Corrositex and cadavers, he shows how it can be a costly experiment, and describes what animals may endure while being tested on.

What in this article do you find convincing?

I thought testing on animals was cruel and wrong before I even read the title. I’m an animal rights activist and I’m well read on the subject. The author still managed to add to my knowledge though, with his great examples and emotional appeal.

What in this article to you find questionable?

I do not question anything in the article. Everything is true.

We don't need animal testing! Alternatives include CeeTox, (MIMIC),  MRI, fMRI, EEG, PET, CT, etc. Those are just a few. Girls does a life really need to be taken away for your makeup? You don't look any prettier! If you still don't believe in how wrong animal testing is, please refer to this video.
