Sacrificing animals, and saving humans!

Animal testing isn’t ethical according to virtue ethics because we are killing innocent animals but we also have to think that by testing on animals we are saving human lives. We should not focus only on the main damage but we have to look at the damage that would be caused if products weren’t tested on animals before being out on the marketplace. Our philosophy claims that we have to think not only on the consequences of actions but as well we have to think about the final outcome and moral choices of those same actions. By testing on animals we prevent sicknesses and we prevent death and health problems of many humans because imagine a product that isn’t tested on animals first turns out to be dangerous to humans; many people that bought the product would suffer the consequences. Even though there are more methods of testing, testing on animals provides a more accurate result. Eating meat is ethical because humans have to eat. The meat provides humans of vitamins and other ingredients that help us be stronger and prevent us from starving, yet there are many other food we can eat, meat is one of the basic foods for humans. Killing animals show that we aren’t good persons which go against our theory but if we think beyond it we have to admit that in order to save the human existence we have to sacrifice others through the process and even though it isn’t right it is what it is. We have to think that to do a final good we sometimes have to do actions that don’t go according to our way of thinking.
