The ethical treatment of animals has become an issue of serious
moral concern. Many people are challenging long-held assumptions
about animals and raising questions about their status and
treatment. What is the relationship between humans and animals? Do
animals have moral standing? Do we have direct or indirect duties
to animals? Does human benefit always outweigh animal suffering?
The use of animals for experimentation raises all of these
questions in a particularly insistent way. Donna Yarri gives an
overview of the current state of the discussion, and presents an
argument for significantly restricted animal experimentation.
Pointing to the similarities between humans and animals, she argues
that the actual differences are differences of degree rather than
kind. Animal cognition and animal sentiency together are the basis
for the claim that experimental animals do have rights. Examining
arguments in the disciplines of ethology, philosophy, science, and
theology, Yarri makes a case for placing substantial restrictions
on animal experimentation. Grounding her examination in Christian
theology, she formulates a more humane approach to animal
experimentation. She concludes with a concrete burden-benefit
analysis that can serve as the foundation for informed
decision-making. The Ethics of Animal Experimentation serves as
both a handbook of animal rights theory and a practical guide to
navigating the complexities of animal experimentation. As animal
experimentation features in an increasing number of scientific
endeavors, it is an ethical issue that requires our immediate
attention. Yarri's unique contribution forges a path toward an
ethical practice of animal experimentation.
