Analogical Arguments And Inductionw

By comparing two or more similar things, infer that they may also be similar in other respects, so as to support your own point of view. In daily life, let mice or monkeys and other animals similar to human physiological structure take or inject new drugs, and then observe Whether the drug works or has side effects in these animals.

Let us call the main term (Y) of the conclusion the primary subject

The thing (X) compared with the main item is called analogue
