Animal Experimentation

By Susan C. Hunnicutt

Book Overview

Few issues are more laden with emotion and controversy than the question of whether apes, and chimpanzees in particular, should continue to be used as subjects in biomedical research. This volume examines issues related to animal experimentation. Topics of discussion include whether medical progress depends on animal research, whether rats and mice are important for Cancer research, whether new technologies can replace testing all together, and whether the Animal Welfare Act protects animals from abuse in scientific research.
