Do scientists conduct animal experiments for profit motives?
Doctors, scientists and laboratory animal professionals are involved in research because they recognize the limitations in our ability to prevent, diagnose, and cure disease in humans and animals. Biomedical research is a noble profession. Many in the field could make more money following other career paths. It’s important to note that animal research is extremely expensive and requires a tremendous investment in well-trained people and special facilities. It is also heavily regulated, requiring an institution to spend a significant amount of time and expense to ensure that all applicable regulations and guidelines are met. Conducting animal-based research is not something that institutions undertake without a great deal of thought.
