  • Historical Development and Ethical Considerations of Vivisectionist and Antivivisectionist Movement*
    JAHR Vol. 3 No. 6 2012 UDK 179.4 Invited review Bruno Atalić* Historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement* Abstract This review presents historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement. In this respect it shows that both movements were not just characteristic for the past one hundred years, but that they were present since the beginning of medical development. It, thus, re-evaluates the accepted notions of the earlier authors. On this track it suggests that neither movement was victorious in the end, as it could be seen from the current regulations of animal experiments. Finally, it puts both movements into a wider context by examining the connection between antivivisectionism and utilitarianism on the one hand, and vivisectionism and experimentalism on the other hand. Key words: vivisectionism; antivivisectionism; bioethics; utilitarianism; experimentalism Introduction This review will try to present historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement in order to re-evaluate the accepted notions of the earlier authors. Firstly, it evaluates the Lansbury's notion that anti- vivisectionism was characteristic for the North European Protestant countries like England and Sweden, while vivisectionism was characteristic for the South Europe- an Catholic countries like France and Italy.1 Then, it proceeds to the Mason's over- 1 Lansbury C.

  • Protection Against Dog Distemper and Dogs Protection Bills: the Medical Research Council and Anti-Vivisectionist Protest, 1911-1933
    Medical Historv, 1994, 38: 1-26. PROTECTION AGAINST DOG DISTEMPER AND DOGS PROTECTION BILLS: THE MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL AND ANTI-VIVISECTIONIST PROTEST, 1911-1933 by E. M. TANSEY * The National Insurance Act of 1911 provided, by creating the Medical Research Committee, explicit government support for experimental, scientific medicine. This official gesture was made against a background of concern about some of the methods of scientific medicine, especially the use of living animals in medical research. Organized protests against animal experiments had gathered strength during the middle of the nineteenth century and resulted in the establishment of a Royal Commission to enquire into the practice of subjecting animals to experiments. The recommendations of that Commission led to the passing of the 1876 Cruelty to Animals Act, which governed all experiments calculated to give pain, and carried out on vertebrates. This paper will extend the examination of laboratory science and laboratory animals into a later period, the first decades of the twentieth century. It will focus on the use of one particular animal, the dog, in one specific laboratory, the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London, and will examine three related themes: the use and justification of the dog in experimental laboratory research into canine distemper at the Institute from its establishment in 1913 until the mid-1930s; this will be set against the protests of anti-vivisectionist groups and their use of the dog as a motif of animal suffering; and the moves by both opponents and proponents of animal experimentation to promote their views and to influence public opinion and members of the legislature.

    Five ENDOCRINOLOGY 101 The doctor who sits at the bedside of a rat Asks real questions, as befits The place, like where did that potassium go, not what Do you think of Willie Mays or the weather? So rat and doctor may converse together. Josephine Miles “The Doctor Who Sits at the Bedside of a Rat” Since the Enlightenment, however, wonder has become a disreputable passion in workaday science, redolent of the popular, the amateurish, and the childish. Scientists now reserve expressions of wonder for their personal memoirs, not their professional publications. Katharine Park and Lorraine Daston Wonders and the Order of Nature Before going on to describe my research and academic career, I wanted to provide the reader with a short “course” in endocrinology, which I still, after all these years, think is wonderful. Let’s face it—the public, the media, and I love hormones. They do such wonderful things. For example, the sex hormones are responsible at puberty for turning on bodily sexual phenotype. A new born baby not secreting thyro- id hormone from its own thyroid will never show normal brain differentiation because crucial connections between neurons in the brain require the presence of this hormone to be completed. The mother’s thyroid hormones take care of the baby’s brain growth while the baby is still in the uterus, but after birth, the baby’s thyroid must secrete its own hormones. Unless treated before six months of age with thyroid hormone, this child will grow up severely dam- aged, what one used to call a “cretin,” with irreversible low intelligence and severe skeletal and muscular growth impairment.

The general criteria necessary for establishing a new discipline, summarized at the beginning of Chapter 1, were clearly already achieved. The time was thus ripe for the formation of a Society devoted to the furtherance of Biochemistry and, on 16 January 1911, J. A. Gardner (Fig. 2.1) and R. H. A. Plimmer (Fig. 1.2), after preliminary discussions with close colleagues, sent out invitations to fifty persons likely to attend a meeting to be held at the Institute of Physiology, UCL at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday, 2 1 January 191 1, to consider the formation of a Biochemical Society. Plimmer was evidently stung into action by an article in the press describing a new science, Biochemistry, which was making rapid progress on the Continent but was apparently unknown in Britain. The invitation, written on a postcard, read “Numerous suggestions having been made that a Biochemical Society should be formed in the Country, we shall be glad if you could make it convenient to attend a meeting at the Institute of Physiology, University College London, on Saturday 2 1 st January at 2.30 p.m.

    HISTORY PN 17 A. V. Hill’s photograph album Hill’s papers in the Archives at Churchill College Cambridge are filed in dozens of manila envelopes. Among them is an album of photographs from the 1920s, mostly of fellow scientists. His grandchildren recall that he was a keen photographer with a home darkroom. Some of his photographs are eye-catching. (He was also good at drawing.) Obviously he did not take Fig. 1, but it may have been taken with his camera. It shows Hill and Otto Meyerhof. They shared the Nobel Prize in 1922 for their discoveries on muscle (Katz, 1978). Hill used thermocouples to measure the heat released during contraction and recovery. Meyerhof measured the rise in lactic acid during tetanus and its fall during recovery, when part was oxidized and the rest rebuilt into carbohydrates. They are at the German border on their way to Stockholm for the Physiological Congress of 1926. Their costumes suggest that they may have been travelling in an open automobile. Hill was keen on cars, motorcycles and power boats. For the first 16 months of World War I Hill served as an infantry Figure 1. A. V. Hill (1886–1977) is on the left; Otto Meyerhof (1884–1951) is on officer. Then he was transferred to the right. (All photographs are from the Churchill Archives Centre, A.V.

    138 Lymphology 33 (2000) 138-140 BOOK REVIEW surprisingly little has been written about Starling's life, and equally remarkable he never received the Nobel Prize or was knighted unlike some of his British colleagues and students. Stimulated by these omissions, J ens H. Henriksen, a renowned clinical physiologist at Hvidore Hospital and the University of Copenhagen, decided on the centennial anniversary of Starling's now classical investigations into lymph formation to write a "short biography" of this investigator's extraordinary career. Raised in a family of 6 children with his British lawyer-diplomat father out of the country most of the time, Starling received a classical education including the German language. He initially qualified as a physician Ernest Henry Starling from Guy's Hospital but his major interest (1866-1927) was in physiology. He soon joined forces with by J ens H. Henriksen his brother-in-law, William Bayliss, to forge a Laegeforeningens Forlag professional collaboration which eventually Copenhagen, Denmark 2000 led to global acclaim for both men.
