Biomedical engineering is a field that has been constantly evolving, and so has its research approach. Central to this evolution is the recognition of a flaw in the established paradigm: the use of live animals in experiments that seek to strengthen human health.
Biomedical engineering has evolved in how research is collected; a flaw in the research collected uses animals as experiments for human life but can be prevented or replaced with isolated cells or tissues—use of simple organisms such as bacteria and designing experiments that can be safely done in humans.
The aim of this discourse is to propose an alternative to the mistake of using whole animals for testing through the employment of isolated whole cells or tissues of simple organisms like bacteria and plan extra intention in conducting safe experiments in humans. These strategies would satisfy moral requirements yet also carry the hope that they would increase the reliability of the results in biomedical research.
[...] The evolving nature of this arena implies that the scientific community should continuously improve on their strategies only to ensure that their operations comply with the ethical values and scientific insights of the day. The hope of this new breed of biomedical engineering also prolongs ethical responsibility to its consequences, where a prominent future that preserves both human health and the welfare of animals matters.

[...] The scientific settings of Animal Models. Animal models promising close similarities with human biology have gained a strong appeal among the scientific community, but the credibility of this relation is less and less likely to be sustained overall. It is consistently proven that the exactness of the animal experiment results cannot be ascertained their usefulness when compared to human treatment, which places in doubt the appeal of animal experimentation in a scientific field( Robinson p 405 As for animal model critics, they draw on examples of clinical tests passed in animal studies to show a lack of success.

[...] But, no doubt, the rapid progress of technology is going towards eliminating this gap. Not only has the technique to culture human cells and tissues in three-dimensional structures been developed, but it also produces more human organs similar to the silhouette ( Rajendran p 105 ). The future of animal testing will depend on the ability of in vitro research to develop sophisticated technologies that can be used as efficient and humane alternatives. Implementation of Simpler Organisms for Complex Speculations The concept of working out with simple bacteria opens a novel window to start understanding the basic underlying biological mechanisms in microbiology.
