I need help extending this and coming up with more ideas

In this essay , I ar gue for the ban of cosmetic testing on animals. This practice involves subjecting animals to experiments to determine product safety and ef fectiveness before being released to the market. I utilize Peter Singer ’s Animal Liberation and T om Regans The case for animal rights (fix this accordingly to all the points I’ve made below please) It is important to consider the ethical implications of animal testing and research for cosmetic purposes. The use of animals in such experiments causes immense pain and suf fering for the price of a lipstick. The animals used in cosmetic testing are often subjected to painful procedures, and many of them die as a result of the experiments. This cruelty can simply not be justified. In his book “Animal Liberation '' philosopher Peter Singer holds that the benefits of animal research must outweigh the suf fering of animals involved. He then proceeds to support his proposition by giving a brief overview of experiments going on in the name of “research”. The experiments consist of exposing animals to torture for completely unnecessary reasons. Cosmetic testing falls under this category , it's not necessary especially now that we have alternative methods available. Alternative methods like in vitro testing and computer modeling are often more accurate and reliable than animal testing. These methods can be conducted in a controlled environment, leading to more consistent and reproducible results. In contrast, animal testing can be unreliable due to animal physiology and behavior variations, leading to inconsistent and unreliable results. Alternative methods are often quicker and more ef ficient than animal testing. Animal testing can take months or even years, leading to delays in product development and increasing costs. In contrast, alternative methods can provide results in a matter of hours or days, leading to faster product development and reducing costs. It is also worth noting that many countries have banned or restricted animal use for cosmetic testing, including the European Union, Israel, Norway , India, and New Zealand (Pfuhler et al). Therefore, cosmetic companies operating in these countries must already comply with alternative testing methods, demonstrating that operating without using animals for cosmetic testing is possible. Critics may ar gue that animal testing is less cost ef fective. (Add onto this) The cost of implementing alternative methods to animal testing may be higher initially , but in the long term, it will be more cost-ef fective. Furthermore, consumers increasingly demand ethical products, and companies that adopt alternative methods will have a competitive advantage. Therefore, the cost of implementing alternative methods can be justified ethically and economically . The use of animals for cosmetic testing also has adverse ef fects on animals and the community as a whole. It perpetuates the notion that animals can be used for human benefit, leading to widespread animal abuse and neglect. Philosopher T om Regan touches on this point in his book “The Case for Animal Rights”, Regan ar gues that the issue lies in the system that allows us to view these animals as commodities. Regan holds that animals are not just things that people can use but that they are also people with their own wants and needs. So, using animals in a scientific study is an abuse of their rights and a violation of what they are worth on their own. What can this possibly tell us about cosmetic testing? (Please add on to this/ edit it to make sense) Additionally , it undermines the principles of ethical consumption and raises questions about the safety of products on the market. The animals used in these experiments often suf fer from severe physical and psychological damage, leading to long-term health problems and even death like I mentioned before. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety of the products they use, and the use of animals for testing undermines their confidence in the safety of cosmetic products. This, in turn, can have a negative impact on the cosmetic industry as a whole. (Add onto this and the paragraphs mentioned above to make it 7 pages in total including conclusion)
