This house believes: We need animals in bio-medical research

Yes, I said animal testing is not accurate. No doubt. I said it's part of life for us to make mistake, you cannot expect perfection every single time, and that's what you want! Why is it not the case that as we continue animal testing, it will not become more accurate? Like Humans, animals do change. The more we become advance in medical research, we'll do things differently. If one thing does not work, you do not simply give up, but try again. But like I said, its animal advocate that block the progress, so how do you than expect them to "accurate." Yes I'm correct in stating that animal testing helped find the cure for polio, just like all the other cure it has founded. Did you not read the other diseases it has combated, and did you not look at the video of the cure animal testing founded. If that video picture clearly points out all the benefits of animal testing, what makes you think "this is not a good indication of future results." Time and time again, it has proven results. Despite the "methods that are available to us" Some questions can only be answered by animal research. All the technologies in the world cannot replace the immense benefit of animals in research, as the technologies themselves cannot replace the genes and other systems of the animal body. Again, you're trying to strike perfection! "Not accurate"? 100% chance? 50% chance? We as humans are not yet well advance in animal testing, and the funding that should have gone towards that has been slashed due to animal advocates. Simply because it is not always accurate does not mean cruelty is not justified. Do you know half of the reason why researchers are sometimes cruel to animals? It can be justified in ensuring you and I well-being are okay. It can be jusitified if it holds the potential to finding cure for a very very deadly disease. Like I said, there are too many cruelty in the world, what makes this little thing a big deal? How can you ask for perfection, yet you're telling these researchers "no you cannot test on the animals." Does that make sense whatsoever? No we'll not always achieve perfection, but we have made great accomplished over the past decades, which of course you skimp over simply so you won't see it: skip to 13 and 23 in this video. The replacement of animal research you're also talking about is within this video. It comes to wonder me if you watch it? Watch the whole video.. You're simply trying to stop something that is helping you so much! When you go to the hospital, most of those vaccines, such as the polio vaccines and other vaccines, were some how developed through animal medical research. The first thing that comes to your mind isn't how this vaccine was made, only that it should be given to you so you can be safe. Yes this could be a debate about the value of human life versus animal life, because animal medical research ties back to saving human life. Animal are tortured, yes, I know that. But it does not mean we should stop animal medical research completely, and let diseases spread across this nation, simply because we trying to stop "tortured." It's "slim chance" because we're not investing more and researching more to get better, because you and other animal advocates are blocking the progress. How can you expect someone or group of people to move forward, when you're putting barriers in their way? How can you expect me to do good, when you're blocking the resources and funding that should be given to me? Animals have brought immense progress, so they are needed, and is acceptable. Animals are the only thing on earth that share some of the same genes as humans. Animals are the only option because some of them share our genes, and if it holds the potential to finding cure for that girl and other humans lives, it ought to be continue and they have helped. It would help if we did research, as polio and all other advances I have shown in the video and presented in my previous argument that I'm not going to list here. My opponent has failed to realize that we as humans are not perfect. He has consistently ask for perfection, yet he and other animal advocates puts barrier in the way of such progress. We as humans will not move forward if we're not fighting for the same common cause. It is about the survival of the human race. Animal testing has helped humans, and I thought my opponent will knowing that considering that I have pointed out that polio strike the nation and paralyzed many people, including children, who would not have survive if it weren't for animal research. I have even pointed out that if it wasn't for the polio, maybe our parents wouldn't have make it, and we wouldn't be here. And I have pointed out through the video, through my sources, and through statements I have quoted that animal testing have find cured to many diseases, that are still killing people in poor countries! Human lives are more important, and if researching on them will bring immense benefit to the human race, I fully support it, despite the fact that we'll not always be "perfect!", because I know perfection isn't something that we can ever achieve in our lifetime, yet my opponent has constantly used that as a means to based his argument on. Animal testing and the cruelty that can sometimes come with it can be justified for it has brought benefits to humans and will continue to. I look forward to my opponent reply.
