It is often said that researching for human activities should be conducted through human behaviors.
Although some people may agree with this statement, I firmly believe that advantages of animal study as alternative are more significant to study haman activities.
There are several reasons for this opinion, I would like to describe two of the most important ones.
First, Seeing widely, human species are included in animal kingdom. Moreover, there are many disadvantages, when we conduct direct study for human.
Most importantly, seeing largely, human is just one kind of animal species.
Granted, some people say we are higher living organism, but, this characteristic, including self-accomplishment, are shown after contending with our basic instincts such as eating instinct, sleeping instinct, sexual instinct.
For example, A third world human, who are separated higher societies, live lives merely for pursuing basic instinct which is really similar to what animal usually shown rather than higher human behaviors.
Therefore, we can do research for human activities by using animal.
Moreover, there are many drawbacks when human be taken part in research directly.
I think that various possibilities should be controlled to get good results in normal study, however, it is not easy to control human, because they make their own lives.
For example, the Seoul National University in Korea has shown a study on "Problems from direct human research". According to the study, there are lots of limitations and drawbacks, like restricting their freedom and needing a large amount money.
As a result, we conduct our study about haman things by using animals.
In conclusion, I consider that there are many benefits of animal research for human study.
If we use animal for human study, we can get more consistent results. Additionally, we reduce many kind of drawbacks causing from direct study.
Regardless of what others say, I think it is a good idea to use animal for human study.
The more people realize this, the better the society will become.
