What are your thoughts on animal research and animal testing in the medical field?

"Although I support animal rights, I understand that animal testing and research are still required for pharmaceutical testing and many other research platforms. I took some time to read about Wayne State University's division of laboratory animal resources on your campus and was glad to see that many regulatory and compliance efforts are in place to ensure that animal testing is done humanely on your campus. As a medical student here, I'd love to learn more about the great efforts on your campus."

Breakthroughs and cures are found regularly through animal testing and research procedures. However, with technology changing rapidly, incredible leaps are being made to replace the use of animals in medical research. Plan an answer that is honest and true to your feelings while showing your understanding of why the use of animals takes place in medical research. Learning and research tools are ever-changing, so mention the progress you have seen through simulations and more.
