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