Is it nescesary to use animels to makescientific investigations related to thehuman body?

Yes. You may or may not have heard about a drugs trial in the UK recently in which 6 people where given a new drug, and had very severe reactions to it, and two of them nearly died. Many people have put this forward as a reason to abandon animal testing since the drug was tested on animals first and showed no sign of the reaction. However i must say that the drug trial worked perfectly, despite the unfortunate outcome. There are many drugs that don't make it to phase one human trials because of bad reactions in animals. Mice have a similar immune system to ours, and so make them a good model animal to test.\n\nIn studies, animals are very useful. Many genes and proteins are very highly conserved amoungst humans and animals. To effectively study what these genes do, in a bid to find new ways to treat illnesses, it is necessary to mutate the gene in the animals. So unless any humans wish to volunteer, it is nescesary to use aniumals. Oh and I do wish animal rights protestors who attack medical research institutes would volunteer.

Do u mean trying to frame something that's more intuitive than explicit? Or are you talking about deciphering the mysteries of the universe and all :)

Biologically, you can only measure the substance of the body, the blood, flesh etc...you can now measure brain wave patterns, but these are not yet fully understood. \nPersonality is derived form a number of sources, it depends on how you are treated by family and peers, the sort of education that you've had, where you live and much more.\nBiology can't measure these quantities, they don't show up in a blood test.

I would think it is "all of the above".  Forensic science uses physical evidence, it is a science and uses the scientific method to investigate and analyze the evidence in labs, and uses wonderful technology to assist in the analysis.

Yes. My Doctor and mentor uses a form of applied kinesology. Depending on the skill of the practitioner it can be used in place of invasive test as a diagnostic tool. It can also determine the effectiveness of a treatment on your personal constitution including the use of herbs, homeopathics, and acupuncture points. \n\nMy doctor uses a system that includes a metal rod attached to a metal plate with holes in it. Glass vials are placed on the plate, while your dominate hand holds the rod. Your free hand is used to make the "OK" sign. If your OK sign can be pried apart it gives an indication that you are reacting to what ever is in the glass vial. The process is repeated for herbs. Acupuncture points are used minus the rod and plate.\n\nHope that was helpful.

Histology is about tissues, I think. Why don't you do a shared DNA percentage study. For instance, our percent shared DNA is exrtremely high with great apes ,of course. So, how would it match other mammals? Or, maybe even non-mammals like fish or something. If you don't like that idea, you could always test for pollutants and toxins in the tissues of various animals.

You ask alot of questions regarding things that seem to be pointing to something bigger. However autopsys where I live are not performed out of necessity but by request. Depends on local laws regarding death.

With todays DNA testing the answer must be Yes !\n\nAnd when it comes back of course you can ... everyone needs a hobby.

Yes there are many ways of screening for cancer, blood tests show some forms of cancer, CT Scans, MIR's Mamagrams, ultrsound.

u can do an investigatory project about the different uses of coconut or about the usefulness of coconut oil..

There's the lie detector tests, I suppose. \n\nThere's also methods by which you can measure electrical activity in various parts of the brain. Activity in different parts of the brain correspond to different emotions/feelings/states etc - like fear, arousal, sleep etc. So you could possibly make some kind of inductive reasoning judgements based on that. \n\nBut for exactly what's on their minds - not as far as I know.

I think you are going the right way about it already.\nEvery system you try will have flaws. Most sciences overlap into other sciences. Just look at Archaeology, anthropology and forensic science. Just these three can be intertwined. Just go simple else you will have a mammoth task and a diagram that will confuse you as much as those you show it to.\nI don't envy your task but would be interested to see the outcome.\nCOP OUT

When you take out the human factor, you can reduce errors. They may be expensive, but a malpractice lawsuit is REALLY expensive.\n\nHere is a good example. I used to work in a laboratory, and we use very specialized machines to test blood for abnormalities. Case in point, diabetes. Diabetes used to be tested for by tasting urine. If the urine was sweet, you had diabetes. If not, you were in the clear. Now we can test and determine the actual level of sugar in the blood. By knowing a quantitative result, or a number, rather than a qualitative result, a yes or no result, you can determine the course of treatment with better outcomes.\n\nIn addition to diagnostic work, computers and robots used in surgery make procedures less invasive and safer. This results in less complications, shorter hospital stays, and an overall a better experience for the patient. \n\nThere are alot of really good reasons for technology. Cost is always a factor, but in the long run it will result in better patient care and a healthier population. This will, in turn, cause insurance rates to drop or at least stabilize.\n\nHope this helps.

could be done safely according to medical counsilling

I have done a lot of research on the subject and most medical doctors think it is unecessary. It could dehydrate you I think.

It works on some people and it does not work the others. It depends on people's "biofield". Even hynotists can sense a person that has a weak field and  then they will ask that person to  volunteer. Some hypothitosts ask a group of ppl to put their hand together behind their back and whoever's hands do not untie to voluneeer.

possibly.  it's called shadowing.  i know that i could because i'm in medical school.  it would be something that would help me in my choice of what sort of doctor i'd like to be.  how old are you?  why would you want to watch one?  if you're in college or late high school and you're thinking about a career in pathology, you'd have a good chance of being allowed to observe and autopsy.
