Animal Testing
- Roman Catholics
- Medical Testing is
tolerable as animals do
not have souls and can
have no special
relationship with God
- Humanity is
superior over
animals are we
were special in
God's creation.
- On the sixth day he made man.. to rule over the creation...
- Happy to eat meat,
therefore is there any
difference in testing on
animals considering they
are very similar
- As long as
animals don't
suffer any more
than need be it is
acceptable.
- Other christians
- Abusing God's creation is abusing God
- Created in the image of God
- God is not indifferent to anything in his creation
- Treating animals
with no respect
shows we are
misusing our
responsibility to rule
over the animals
- Rule over the
fishes of the
sea and the
birds in the sky
- There are other means
for testing nowadays
(computer simulation) so
it's unnecessary.
- Personal Veiwpoint
- Animal testing is fine but ONLY for medical use
- Anything such as cosmetics
is unnecessary because i
believe animals have
emotions
- If there are other commercial ways of testing use them instead
- But it has to be reliable otherwise it will not benefit humanity
- Definitions
- Cloning - gentically identical copy of a living thing
- Genetic Engineering - the modification of genetic information
