General discussion summary:

This was a discussion (not a debate) held with these lovely participants upon this topic. Participants were exposing their points of views about whether experimenting or testing medicines or chemicals on animals.

Some points were:

We are humans, and as superior beings, we can use animals to save other animals or many humans.
We decide what to sacrifice on behalf of better medicine or to save millions of lives.
We have no rights to play with any creature’s life, even on behalf of millions of humans or animals.
It’s acceptable only under certain circumstances.
Some participants were against the use of animals, regardless of the outcome or benefits.

There was some extra topics such as the preference between a job where one can get a lot of money and less happiness vice a job where once can get little money but a very enjoyable job.

It depends on people’s priorities
Even when having a job that is not enjoyable, people can find happiness because it depends on people’s attitude.
Some people do not care about happiness in their job; they would go after money all the time because most people are greedy.
