For instance, the employee turnover rate in our hotel has been growing exponentially, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to hire and train new employees.

The Ethics of Experimentation on Human Beings and Animals Most institutes for medical research have used animals as test subjects to gain knowledge about human illnesses or to test potential treatments for humans since time immemorial. Researchers mostly use rats and mice in such experiments as they have many similar physiological and genetic properties as humans. In instances where animal tests offer no solution to a clinical question, scientists resort to human experimentation. Although both animal and human experimentation have contributed significantly to the advancement of medicine, they have raised serious ethical dilemmas as they have the potential to abuse both the animals and humans involved and flaunt moral principles. This paper will, therefore, discuss the ethics of human and animal experimentation. Proponents of animal experimentation argue that animals and humans should not be considered as moral equals, as the benefits of experimenting on animals to humans outweigh the suffering of animals. Further, they state that since most animals do not possess cognitive abilities, they do not belong to the human moral community and therefore have inferior rights, making…
