Animal testing has helped make medical breakthroughs. It has made cures for diseases such as Hepatitis B, Polio, Rabies, Malaria, and the Mumps. It is also currently helping us with finding cures for AIDS (Shandilya). Also, “It is in the interests of animals themselves that experiments be done on animals to test medicines and surgical procedures for using on animals themselves, not just on humans. Animal experimentation can be in the interests of animals as well as of humans” ( Dixon ). If animal testing were stopped, then scientific advancement would be slowed down tremendously (Pro-Test).  So, would you rather live in a world without animal testing and have multiple diseases, or would you rather live in a world with animal testing and with all of the medications that some of us have to use on a daily basis to live a happy and healthy life?
