I. Introduction
     1. Hook
     2. Introduction approach: frame the consequences
     3. Thesis

II. Body Paragraph 1
     1. Topic: Proposed alternatives cannot yet determine genetic level causes of disease or determine how a disease becomes resistant to treatments.
     2. Evidence 1 and explanation
     3. Evidence 2 and explanation

III. Body Paragraph 2
     1. Topic: There are no reliable alternatives. Such methods usually compliment, not replace, animal testing.
     2. Evidence 1 and explanation
     3. Evidence 2 and explanation

IV. Body Paragraph 3
     1. Topic: By law, replacements to animal testing must be used whenever possible.
     2. Evidence 1 and explanation
     3. Evidence 2 and explanation

V. Body Paragraph 4
     1. Topic: Legislation around the globe requires pharmaceuticals to be tested in animals for toxic reactions.
     2. Evidence 1 and explanation
     3. Evidence 2 and explanation

VI. Conclusion
     1. Restate thesis
     2. Conclusion approach: common ground

I chose "frame the consequences" as my introduction approach because I will frame the consequences of a good alternative to animal testing, which is what my audience would like to see (or possibly believes already exists). This will allow me to relate to my audience immediately and hopefully they give the rest of the essay an opportunity to persuade them. The common ground approach in the conclusion was an obvious choice for me. Both sides of this argument want to see alternatives to animal testing produced.
