Ethics in Animal Research
Captions available
The idea
Animal research requires scientific justification, minimum necessary numbers, and procedures that reduce pain and distress.
In practice
A conditioning study is approved only after showing the same question cannot be answered in humans or in fewer animals.
Where people slip
Regulation does not settle the ethical question. It records where the current line was drawn and by whom.
