Abstract
Animal testing had been in practice from the last many decades. Animal testing and experimentation leads to killing and cruelty of hundreds of thousands of animlas each year. Misconception is so much about the general public that the use of animals is considered mandatory for meeting the learning objectives. The existence of methods like In vitro pyrogen test, embryonic stem cell test, carcinogenicity test etc. has paved the good pathway for the usage of alternatives to animal experimentation. Alternatives to animal experiments can only be put into practice by the general awareness of the public about the animal welfare, the tediousness of the animal methods, and the expensive and time consuming nature of these methods. In this review a various alternative testing methods are discussed so that pavement should be directed into a meaningful research, healing and protection and is mandatory for restoring faith and respect in medical profession. This review will provide an insight on the various alternatives to animal experimentation so that a path can be lighted which would be terror free and without dragging the animal to a life of horror and unbearable pain.
