to the Animal Models Volumes This volume describes animal models of
drug addiction. Because of increasing public concern over the
ethical treatment of animals in research, we felt it incumbent upon
us to include this general preface in order to indicate why we
think further research using animals is necessary. Animals should
only be used when suitable alternatives are not available, and
humans can only be experimented upon in severely proscribed
circumstances. Alternative procedures using cell or tissue culture
are inadequate in any models requiring assessments of behavioral
change or of complex in vivo p- cesses. However, when the distress,
discomfort, or pain to the animals outweighs the anticipated gains
for human welfare, the research is not ethical and should not be
carried out. It is imperative that each individual researcher
examine his/ her own research from a critical moral standpoint
before eng- ing in it, and take into consideration the animals'
welfare as well as the anticipated gains. Furthermore, once a
decision to p- ceed with research is made, it is the researcher's
responsibility to ensure that the animals' welfare is of prime
concern in terms of appropriate housing, feeding, and maximum
reduction of any uncomfortable or distressing effects of the
experimental conditions.
