Excerpt from Experiments on Living Animals; Useless and Cruel (a Medical View of the Vivisection Question): An Address, Delivered at Newcastle-on-Tyne, Thursday, March 5th, 1914
Now, there is no question about it that this brings before us a great moral issue. If, for the sake of argument, we take for granted that Vivisection is cruel, then undoubtedly, since every thing that is cruel is wrong, the practice of Vivisection must be wrong. If, also, we take for granted that good has been derived from Vivisection and that good results will be achieved from the practice in the future, it is equally immoral, because we have no right whatever to do evil that good may come. (hear, hear). And hence, which ever way one looks at it, even taking for granted the position the vivisector takes up, Vivisection, in our Opinion, is a practice which cannot be condoned.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of vivisection, the practice of animal experimentation in the name of scientific discovery. The author, a medical doctor, argues that vivisection is not only cruel but it is also ineffective, leading to misleading and even dangerous results. He provides compelling evidence demonstrating that vivisection has not contributed to any significant medical advances. Instead, the author advocates for a return to ethical and effective scientific methods such as clinical observation accompanied by experimentation on willing human volunteers. This book sheds light on the moral and scientific bankruptcy of vivisection, presenting a strong case for its abolition in favor of humane and productive alternatives.
