Your task:
To write (about a paragraph) where you explain to a very concerned member of the
public what the role/function/importance of the use of animals is developmental biology
research is. You are encouraged to include your own thoughts and views. You should
provide well-developed arguments, and if you have ideas on how the use of animals
could be reduced, you are most definitely encouraged to share them.

I believe that using animals in developmental biology is essential because we cannot study development of multicellular organisms in a cell cultures or in a petri dish. By using these animals we could gain valuable information about the functioning/development of the human body. This information could potentially be used in medicine and increase our knowledge of genetic/developmental diseases. However this research should be highly monitored to prevent pain and suffering for the animals. These animals should not have a very complex neural circuit and severely mutated embryos should be eliminated before they become a well developed organism. The number of these animals could be minimized by the use of computer modelling as our technology becomes more advanced and our knowledge of developmental processes increases.
