** THIS IS ME ** By Michael Huang C2 Yesterday… I hated to be isolated, But loved to play with friends. I was afraid to go to obscure places, But was not afraid of monsters. I did not believe in my mom, But I did believe in Santa. I was sad about going to sleep, But was happy about waking up.

Today… I hate to do nothing, But love to play outside. I am afraid that I might die, But love to bungee jump. I do not believe in the tooth fairy, But do believe in my family. I get sad about doing homework, But I am happy playing games.

Tomorrow… I would hate to get old, But would love to watch TV. I would be afraid to rot, But would not be scared to die. I would not believe in becoming young, But I would believe in getting old. I would be sad about being alone, But would be happy about living a life.

Animal Experimentation

Imagine being a patient in the hospital, trying out a vaccine. This drug may kill you or help you recover from the horrible disease you have. That feeling is certainly not pleasant and not to say extremely dangerous. This is why there is animal experimentation, so that when a new vaccine or perhaps a cure for cancer is found, humans will not have to be in the testing process. Sure, there may be some human trials, but that is after doctors have tested on the animals and made sure that the drug wont hurt you. Before you think irrationally, first learn about what animal experimentation is, how animal experimentation is used, and finally why animal experimentation is needed. Animal experimentation is using animals as test subjects for medical uses. As medical technology is advancing, more and more animals are needed to be tested on. In special labs, animals are tested on so they could see how some stimuli react to certain types of medicine. Hurting or infecting the animal then using different types of medicine is also a type of animal experimentation. They would later on see if the animal would heal or become disinfected. Personally, I support animal experimentation because without that, we would have to sacrifice human lives so we can save human lives, which is very ironic. Animal testing is good and is needed for us humans. There are many ways of how animals can be used for experiments. Animals can get infected with some disease and then they would be treated with different types and amounts of medicine. The procedures the animals go through could hurt or even kill the animal, though it would help advance in human medical uses. Slowly, animal experimentation is improving, currently only 10% of the medicine does not fail. After thinking about this, without animal testing, 9 out of 10 humans would have died from these diseases. Animal experimentation is more needed and hated for many reasons. Animals are the only alternatives for testing on a living system. Animals have the most shared DNA with humans, chimpanzees are 99% same DNA to humans, mice and rats are 98% percent same, and all the mammals have the same internal organs that function the same way. Most animals make a better test subject because their lifespan is so short, this way, researchers could study the side effects of a vaccine that could span over a whole lifetime. People in the US only use 26 million animals for animal experimentation annually whereas in contrast, eat 8 billion chickens and around 150 million cows, pigs, and sheep. These reasons make animal testing more needed than hated. Now that you have learned about what animal experimentation is, you can think rationally and choose which side to support. Animal experimentation is needed for medical advances. Animal experimentation has more good traits than bad traits. Animal experimentation might sound bad at first, but after seeing why you need animal experimentation, how it is used, and why it is needed, it sounds better than it is. Even though it may sound like it hurts animals, humans are more adapted and needed. I hope you support my cause.
