Vivisection

Vivisection refers to the practice of performing surgical operations or experiments on live animals to study biological processes and diseases. It is often used in medical research to test drugs, understand anatomy, and explore the effects of various treatments. While proponents argue that it advances medical science and can lead to significant discoveries, critics raise ethical concerns about animal welfare and suffering. Regulations exist in many countries to minimize pain and ensure humane treatment of animals used in research. Ultimately, the debate around vivisection balances the potential benefits to human health against the moral implications of using animals in this way.
