Animal testing / M.M. Eboch, book editor.
"Animal testing continues to meet with strong opposition from animal rights groups and others. Few people are interested in harming animals, but the practice seems preferable to using human subjects. The truth is, medical research using animal testing has contributed to many important treatments and cures for humans. But what are the ethics of testing on animals, and is there an alternative? The viewpoints in this volume explore the reasons companies and researchers use animals to test their products and treatments, the harms and benefits of animal testing, and options for animal-free tests"-- Provided by publisher.
