Closer Then You Think

From when you are a baby to when you are an adult animal testing is used in your everyday products. From the Pampers you put on as a baby and the Johnson and Johnson you are washed with, to when you are older the Febreeze, Sunsilk, and Gillette you use. Animal testing surrounds you in every act of life. The guess is around 100 million animals are used worldwide in animal testing. Animal testing is rooted from natural curiosity, how the insides of a living organism operate and look is an interesting idea. Since the dissection of humans was illegal by the Roman Church, animals were the second best option for knowledge of living organisms. The debate surrounding the idea of animal testing is a very heated one. There are many alternating opinions to whether it should be prohibited or not because they are living organisms.
