動物実験 -Animal Experiments- 第二稿
*第二稿。今回はこれにて終了。
主な修正点・今後注意したい点：
- take placeはそれだけで受身。「行われている」の意。（ウィズダムより）
- testingは単数形
- 主観じゃないつもりでも主観になっている。×A should not be done.→○They claims that A shoudl ....
- benefitは加算名詞：×lots of benefit→○lots of benefits
- 「に基づき」はbased on。×standing on
- 「動物だとたくさん被検体を集められる」は今の英語力では言いにくいので断念、削除……
In recent years, animal experiments take place widely in order to test new medicines’ efficiency and safety. Some people say that these experiments are inevitable for medical advance and they also bring lots of benefits to human beings, while others argue that animal testing is so cruel and unethical that it should be banned immediately. In my personal opinion, there is an urgent needs to stop experiments on animals.
Those who stand by the opinion that animal experiments are necessary emphasize the following benefits. First, if we test underdeveloped medicines or products on humans, companies and researchers would have a heavy legal responsibility since the experiments could harm human subjects. Second, in animal testing, it costs by far less than testing on humans. Based on the above mentioned reasons, many people agree with animal experiments.
On the other hand, other people claim that animal testing should be prohibited immediately since animal testing is a cruel and inhumane way to conduct researches. This testing sometimes leads animal to be sick or even die. Those against animal testing say that instead of animal experimentations, alternative ways (e.g., computer simulations) should be implemented. Moreover, some specialists says that experiments on animals have no meanings since the subject animals, such as mice and rats, and human beings are completely different species.
Considering both side of this issue, I stand by the opinion that animal testing should be prohibited immediately and replaced by other less harmful options. No animal should be harmed solely for the benefit of us human beings.
