Experimenting with medical drugs on animals and its impact from an ethical and environmental perspective

الملخص EN

The study deals with the ethical and environmental impact of conducting feasibility trials for medical drugs on humans and animals.

The aim of conducting the study is to find out the controversial permissibility of testing chemical products and pharmaceutical preparations on samples of humans or animals, as well as determining the ethical justification according to the purpose of conducting the experiments.

It is noted that conducting such experiments is a controversial issue, with conflicting opinions about it between supporters and opponents.

Supporters overlooked the violation of human privacy, overlooked animal rights, and presented the noble end as a justification for experimentation; While others opposed the arguments that it is not permissible to allow rights in both types of the sample.

The researchers collected data using tables and a questionnaire and analyzed it using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS).

The researchers followed the analytical method in their study.

And they concluded that conducting drug experiments on humans depends on the purpose and taking prior permission plus respect for privacy.

As for the animal; Conducting such experiments is counterproductive and impermissible in terms of its contradiction with respect for animal rights, and a violation of binding environmental requirements around the world.
