Synopsis

Exploring the humane debate around animal and human experimentation

This book examines the ethics, history, and consequences of vivisection, asking how far science should go in the pursuit of knowledge and better health. It tracks the evolution of thought from early demonstrations to modern reform efforts, highlighting the tension between scientific progress and compassion. Clear, careful writing presents the arguments, the evidence, and the real-world impacts on policy, medicine, and society.

• A historical look at who defended and opposed vivisection and why
• Discussion of regulation, reform movements, and the limits of scientific justification
• Analysis of how pain, suffering, and animal welfare are weighed against potential benefits
• Examination of how public opinion and professional norms shape practice

Ideal for readers of history, ethics, and medical policy who want a grounded, thoughtful view of a long-standing debate.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The position taken by the writer of this volume should be clearly understood. It is not the view known as antivivisection, so far as this means the condemnation without exception, of all phases of biological investigation. There are methods of research which involve no animal suffering, and which are of scientific utility. Within certain careful limitations, these would seem to be justifiable. For nearly forty years, the writer has occupied the position which half a century ago was generally held by a majority of the medical profession in England, and possibly in A merica, a position maintained in recent years by such men as Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson of England, by Professor William James and Dr. Henry J. Bigelow of Harvard University. With the present ideals of the modern physiological laboratory, so far as they favour the practice of vivisection in secrecy and without legal regulation, the writer has no sympathy whatever. An ethical problem exists.
