In connection with the development of our civilization, the experiments on animals are most common. We spend them in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms and various laboratories. Of course, almost all the advances in medicine of the twentieth century depended on animal experiments, but however, need to consider what the price it was achieved.

Some arguments to conclude that the animal experiment is not humane. Firstly, the most of animals used in experiments, are euthanized after they finish. Secondly, some animals caught of the wild nature or purchased at auction and in shelters. Many people think that scientists are specially bred creatures, but in fact it is not true.

Moreover, animal and humans have are quite different physiologically and biologically. For this reason, reaction to various substances and drugs in humans and animals different. For example, penicillin is dangerous for guinea pigs, but is useful for humans, morphine heaved calming effect on a person, for cats became nervous excitement.

Also, I would like to note, that alternatives to replace the use of animals have exist in many countries. In some cases, students can make a choice: animal experiments or alternative methods.

As alternatively the animal can be used unicellular organisms physicochemical model cell culture, computer model. These methods are cheap, effective, and allow the identification of the toxicity of the test drugs at the cellular and subcellular level.

In my opinion, we need to develop a movement for high-quality humane education in biological, medical and veterinary colleges. Also we can use in teaching computer programs, mathematical models, videos, watching live animals, heal the sick and to operate the corpses of animals that died of natural causes.

To sum up, we can say that science and medicine are rapidly evolving , but  she could not make a man completely healthy given to fact that even protect people from different viruses is often not possible. Do not need to kill a lot of animals when we can carry out tests on the cells. The final and most important point is that to predict the result of use of drugs may be the most likely. Absolute guarantee do not give no one, even after animal testing. Science has such information, which allows you to do a good prognosis, even in theory.
