Using animals in medical research has many benefits. Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox without animal research. Every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals. Which is more important, the life of a rat or that of a three year old child? Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over twelve million animals had to be killed because nobody wanted them as pets. The fact is that human benefit cannot be used as a reason for using animals in research, any more than it can be used as a reason for experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages and they may beunable to move.Animals have the same rights as humans do; to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. We can use computer modeling instead of animals in research laboratories to save animals' life.A) Answer the following questions:

1. 1- Why is animal research useful?
   

1. 2- How do animals suffer during experiments?
   

1. 3- What other ways can be used instead of experimenting on animals?
