Animal experimentation is one of the most controversial areas of
debate on animal rights. Biomedical research is at the hard edge of
these debates: it throws up fundamental questions of moral value -
of whether human life is more important than that of animals. Much
experimentation is defended by its apparent success in terms of
increasing medical knowledge. This study investigates whether
biomedical research using animals is, in fact, scientifically
justified. The authors show that in scientific terms - using the
models that scientists themselves use - these claims are
exaggerated, or even false. They argue that we need to reassess our
use of animals and, indeed, rethink the standard positions in the
debate. Their analysis reveals why research using animals might be
a source of hypotheses about human biomedical phenomena, yet would
never prove or establish anything about this phenomena.
