Applied research aims to solve specific problems like developing new medical treatments through xenotransplantation research, which transplants organs from other species to humans to address shortages. While this research helps develop drugs and treatments to improve human health and ensure drug safety, it also raises ethical issues since it requires testing on and killing animals, investing in substances not always put to practical use, and incurring high expenses.
6. Xenotransplantation research involves transplanting
tissues or organs from one species to another, as a way
to overcome the shortage of human organs for use
in organ transplants

3. Helps ensure safety of drugs
1. Animals are killed or kept in captivity:
2. Some substances tested, may never be used for
anything useful:
3. It is very expensive:
