In this compelling history of the co-ordinated, transnational
defence of medical experimentation in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, Rob Boddice explores the experience of
vivisection as humanitarian practice. He captures the rise of the
professional and specialist medical scientist, whose metier was
animal experimentation, and whose guiding principle was 'humanity'
or the reduction of the aggregate of suffering in the world. He
also highlights the rhetorical rehearsal of scientific practices as
humane and humanitarian, and connects these often defensive
professions to meaningful changes in the experience of doing
science. Humane Professions examines the strategies employed by the
medical establishment to try to cement an idea in the public
consciousness: that the blood spilt in medical laboratories served
a far-reaching human good.
