Animal Experimentation
I chose to do my research paper on animal experimentation because I am highly against it. I think that it is a disgusting way to develop our medicine, cosmetics, etc. I don't think it is fair to the animals to have to go through all that for the benefit of humans. I would really like to see thee end of animal experimentation.

Opposing Viewpoints
Hanlon and Garner have a slightly different view on animal experimentation, they both think its cruel, they both think its disgusting, the only thing that they don't agree on is that its "necessary".
Garner is completely against animal experimentation. he believes that we are guilty of speciesism, which is the assumption that the human species is superior which leads to animal experimentation. He says that although we are aware of the suffering caused by animal experimentation, but because they are being used to benefit the human race it should be allowed, and he says that isn't right.
Hanlon on the other hand believes that animal experimentation is both disgusting and cruel, but he also believes that it is a necessity. He says that although there are experiments that shouldn't be done, there are those that are needed. He says that without vivisection, another term for animal experimentation, we wouldn't have the advances is today's modern medicine.
I think that animal experimentation should not exist, I don't think that it is fair to the animals that they get used to test things for the well being of a more superior species. I think that Garner is 100% right, like Garner, I believe we are guilty of speciesism. And now I think it is time to find an alternative to animal experimentation.

Addictions to Technology Gone Wrong
Can people be addicted to technology? Can technology addiction get in the way of your every day life? Can they get in the way of school or work? Can they ruin relationships? I interviewed a couple people recently about their own personal addictions to technology and I got different responses and experiences from them. Some didn't have a problem with their addictions, but some did. Some of the people i interviewed said that their addictions didn't get in the way of their everyday life, that they didn't see it as a problem. While the others said that it totally did. They put their addiction before school. They went from doing bad in school to having trouble at home. Addiction is a bad thing, no doubt about, its just sometimes they affect some more than others. A small video game addiction is harmless as long as it doesn't get in the way of the essentials. But being a full blown addict can be harmful, and it can interfere with school, family, and friendship.
