Animal Testing Is Morally Acceptable
I would go so far as to say that those who are against animal testing are morally wrong. If animal testing can lead to the cure for diseases that kill millions of people a year then we should do it.

I agree on the basis of finding a cure for a disease. But I believe we must limit the cruelty we subject the animals to. I would say its not morally acceptable to deliberately cause an animal an extended amount of overwhelming pain.

We also have to consider, if testing on animals is morally acceptable, is creating a cure for diseases acceptable. Through logic, finding a cure for cancer and other terrible diseases could cause even greater destruction of human lives. If we keep curing such diseases and viruses they will eventually adapt, and be formed into one we can't cure, and one that will be even more contagious and threatening. And if we cure most diseases that deplete the human population, over population could become a huge concern.
