What are the Ethical Implications of Animal Testing?
Animal testing remains a controversial topic within toxicology. While it provides valuable insights into the safety of chemicals, it raises significant ethical concerns regarding animal welfare. The debate focuses on the necessity, justification, and humane treatment of animals in toxicological research. Alternatives to animal testing, such as in vitro methods and computer modeling, are being developed to address these ethical concerns, though their efficacy and reliability continue to be evaluated.
