Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vivisection Question
I. By Vivisection is meant experimentation of any kind, painful or painless, made upon a living creature for an alleged scientific purpose.
II. Within certain limitations and to a certain extent, the utility of animal experimentation makes it justifiable and right.
III. The abuses to which the practice is liable are so great, that vivisection should be regulated by law, and placed under the control and supervision of the State.
In order to prove need of the legal regulation here advocated, it has been necessary to refer to cruelties and abuses, incident to the practice as now carried on. The revelation of these has induced criticism; but I cannot see how otherwise, there could be adduced any proof of necessity for legal control.
In one respect, the task made necessary by controversy on this subject has been exceedingly distasteful. It is by no means a pleasant literary employment to point out the inaccuracies or to demonstrate the blunders made bv men of national repute in their opposition to the regula tion of experimentation. But no fact is more clearly apparent than that too eager laudation of vivisection without control has evoked a carelessness of statement.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history and ethics of vivisection, exploring the topic from both sides of the debate. The author, an experienced physiologist, attempts to reconcile the inherent value of vivisectional research and scientific progress with the concerns of the anti-vivisection movement. The book includes a review of the historical and modern defenses of vivisection, an examination of its ethical implications, and an overview of the legal status of vivisection in various countries. The author argues that vivisection has played a vital role in advancing physiology and medicine, but acknowledges the need for strict regulation to balance the pursuit of scientific knowledge with the welfare of animals. This thought-provoking analysis of the ethical, legal, and scientific dimensions of vivisection provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion surrounding this controversial practice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332045921_0
