Ethics of Research involving animals
Summary of Section 2
10.1 Below we summarise the findings of Section 2, which concerned the scientific uses of animals and the implications for welfare in four different contexts: basic research (Chapter 5); animals as models for human disease (Chapters 6 and 7); pharmaceutical research and development (Chapter 8); and toxicity testing (Chapter 9). We also address more specifically issues which concern the transferability of results obtained from animal research to humans.
