Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.
Animal experimentation is a very controversial topic. Many people think that the benefits outweigh any negatives it causes, while others think it is animal cruelty. Many people are for animal experimentation because it can create new, safe medicines. By testing new medicines on animals, any serious side effects can be determined and prevented from happening to humans. The other side of the issue is the undue harm it causes to animals. There are other methods of testing medicines, but they are slower and can be less reliable. Overall, the government does not step into this issue very often if ever. There are guidelines set by the government as to the treatment of the animals, but once the experimenting begins, those guidelines aren't necessarily enforced by anybody.
