Problem:
In my research I found that in vitro cell based testing to be the most promising as a alternative for animal testing. This method seems to be the best due to its availability, low cost, and it provides a realistic reaction because the cells contain human DNA. Using a cell that is human based gives a more accurate idea of what a potential chemical or drug might do on a molecular level. I found that this method is very cheap to start and reproduce therefore making it more ecofriendly in the long run as well as less expensive. This method also seems to have longevity to the scientific testing space as the cell collection and testing procedures will continue to be improved upon. The only con would be how limited this technology currently is. Although there are other technologies working with in vitro cell testing, the cells themselves are not able to mimic an entire system of organs, tissues, and fibers, therefore the testing cannot accurately predict what a chemical or drug will do to the overall system of a human body. However, the science will continue to get better and better. Overall I think that the in vitro process is the best way to replace animal testing, despite is downsides due to its cost, availability and the constantly improving science. Need Assignment Help?
