This volume is the first to present a framework of general
principles for animal research ethics together with an analysis of
the principles' meaning and moral requirements. This new framework
of six moral principles constitutes a more suitable set of moral
guidelines than any currently available, including the influential
framework presented in the Principles of Humane Experimental
Technique published in 1959 by zoologist and psychologist William
M. S. Russell and microbiologist Rex L. Burch. While other accounts
have presented specific directives to guide the use of animals in
research, Tom L. Beauchamp and David DeGrazia here offer a set of
general moral principles that are adequate to the task of
evaluating biomedical and behavioral research involving animals
today. Their comprehensive framework addresses ethical requirements
pertaining to societal benefit-a critical consideration in
justifying the harming of animals in research-and features a
thorough program of animal welfare protection. In doing so, their
principles bridge the gap between the concerns of the research
community and the animal-protection community. The book is
distinctive in featuring commentaries on the framework of
principles by eminent figures in animal research ethics from an
array of relevant disciplines: veterinary medicine, biomedical
research, biology, zoology, comparative psychology, primatology,
law, and bioethics. The seven commentators-Larry Carbone, Frans de
Waal, Rebecca Dresser, Joseph Garner, Brian Hare, Margaret Landi,
and Julian Savulescu-scrutinize Beauchamp and DeGrazia's principles
in terms of both their theoretical cogency and practical
implications, evaluating their relevance to the medical and
scientific professions. The range of ethical issues encompassed in
Principles of Animal Research Ethics will be useful to
professionals in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and will
also appeal to individuals and scholars interested in bioethics,
animal ethics, and applied ethics generally.
