  • Ethical Issues Raised by Animal Research

    Ethical Issues Raised by Animal Research

    Chapter 3 Ethical issues raised by animal research The ethics of research involving animals Ethical issues raised by animal research CHAPTER 3 Introduction 3.1 As we have said, the debate about research involving animals ranges broadly over two distinct questions. The first asks whether animal research yields useful knowledge that could ETHICAL ISSUES RAISED BY ANIMAL RESEARCH not be gained from other sources. The second concerns whether it is morally acceptable for humans to use animals in ways that can cause them harm. These two questions are clearly related: if it were the case that we learn nothing useful and distinctive from research that may harm animals, it would be difficult to see how, on any reasonable view, it could be morally justified. The question of scientific justification is therefore fundamental to the question of moral justification and we explore it in detail in Chapters 5–10. 3.2 However, a positive answer to the scientific question does not settle the moral question, for it may be the case that an experiment that yields useful and relevant information is not ethically acceptable. We need therefore to consider from first principles the arguments in support of, and against, research involving animals. For the purpose of our discussion, we take the principal ethical questions to be the following: I Provided there are substantial benefits associated with animal research, why should the use of animals require special justification? I Can any use of animals by humans be justified? Which specific issues need to be considered in the case of research? I What role does the unavailability of alternatives play in the justification of research involving animals? I How does the justification of such research relate to the justification of other uses, such as food production? I What is the appropriate role of regulation for research involving animals? 3.3 For each of these questions, we consider commonly encountered arguments to bring clarity to the debate; to identify agreement where it exists; and to understand what lies behind remaining disagreement.

  • Empathy: Its Ultimate and Proximate Bases

    Empathy: Its Ultimate and Proximate Bases

    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2002) 25, 1–72 Printed in the United States of America Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases Stephanie D. Prestona and Frans B. M. de Waalb aUniversity of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, 2RCP – Neurology Clinic, Iowa City, IA 52242; bLiving Links, Yerkes Primate Center and Psychology Department, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322 [email protected] [email protected] http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/prestonresearch http://www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKS/ Abstract: There is disagreement in the literature about the exact nature of the phenomenon of empathy. There are emotional, cogni- tive, and conditioning views, applying in varying degrees across species. An adequate description of the ultimate and proximate mecha- nism can integrate these views. Proximately, the perception of an object’s state activates the subject’s corresponding representations, which in turn activate somatic and autonomic responses. This mechanism supports basic behaviors (e.g., alarm, social facilitation, vicar- iousness of emotions, mother-infant responsiveness, and the modeling of competitors and predators) that are crucial for the reproduc- tive success of animals living in groups. The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature (similarity, familiarity, past experience, explicit teach- ing, and salience). It can also predict a variety of empathy disorders. The interaction between the PAM and prefrontal functioning can also explain different levels of empathy across species and age groups. This view can advance our evolutionary understanding of empa- thy beyond inclusive fitness and reciprocal altruism and can explain different levels of empathy across individuals, species, stages of de- velopment, and situations.
