This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Animal Experimentation on Medical Science From the beginning of history until the present century, medicine has been either absolutely denied a place among the Sciences or else branded as inexact, empyrical and laggard in its development and progress. Although dealing, as it does, with the most complex prob lems of human existence, where, as in no other science, every law of nature is controlled and modified by that unknown force we call vitality, Medicine has nevertheless, from the very first, been forced to meet the demand for complete knowledge. To it alone, the answer we do not yet know all has been denied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Experimentation: A Series of Statements Indicating Its Value to Biological and Medical Science The following are the statements of various remonstrants to proposed legislation to further restrict experimentation upon animals for medical and biological purposes in the Common wealth of Massachusetts. They were called out at the legis lative hearings upon this subject in the spring of 1901. The agitation in favor of such further restriction has been carried on for several years, and the views of the remonstrants are nowhere to be found in print. Many of the friends of research have expressed a wish to have some document to which reference may be made for the facts in the case, and it has therefore been decided to publish this book. It contains, not a shorthand report of what was said at the hearings, but the main points of what was so said, with additions from some who were not heard for lack of time, or because of absence from the country. In each case the writer has corrected his manuscript before publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Conquest of Disease Through Animal Experimentation  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Conquest of Disease Through Animal Experimentation Classic Reprint written by James Peter Warbasse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Disease Through Animal Experimentation This book is intended to give some information upon one of these branches of scientific work: namely, animal experimentation. It is based upon addresses on this subject given by the author before the New York Academy of Medicine, the Medical Society of the County of Kings, and the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. These have been amplified and made into a little book, with the hope that it may be of service in correcting some misconceptions, and that it may elucidate in a measure one of the most important and fruitful fields of scientific effort. In referring to certain experiments, the names of a few investigators are given. No attempt is made to mention all of the workers in any specific field. Names are given to serve as tangible links to connect the subject under investigation with the published reports. They must be regarded simply as illustrative, for in many instances the original authority is not given, but some later investigator is cited as serving better for illustrative purposes.

Book Experiments on Animals  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Experiments on Animals Classic Reprint written by Stephen Paget and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments on Animals The first edition of this book was published in 1900. For twelve years it had been my business, as Secretary to the Association for the Advancement of Medicine by Research, to know something about experiments on animals, and to follow the working of the Act of 1876; and to give facts and references to a very large number of applicants. Believing that an account of these experiments, and of the conditions imposed on them by the Act, might serve a useful purpose, I proposed to the Council of the Association that I should write a book on the subject. The Council accepted this proposal; and decided that the book should be written for general reading, that it should not be anonymous, and that it should be published without reserve. It was, of course, a doubtful and embarrassing task. But, from twelve years' experience of the things said by the chief opponents of all experiments on animals, I knew that there was only one way of doing it - to give the original authorities, the plain facts, the very words, chapter and verse for everything. Among those who kindly revised the proofs were Prof. Rose Bradford and Prof. Starling, who revised Part I.; Mr. Shattock, who revised Part II.; and Prof. Schafer.

Book An Ethical Problem Or Sidelights Upon Scientific  Experimentation on Man and Animals  Classic Reprint

Download or read book An Ethical Problem Or Sidelights Upon Scientific Experimentation on Man and Animals Classic Reprint written by Albert Leffingwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ethical Problem or Sidelights Upon Scientific, Experimentation on Man and Animals The position taken by the writer of this volume should be clearly understood. It is not the view known as antivivisection, so far as this means the condemnation without exception, of all phases of biological investigation. There are methods of research which involve no animal suffering, and which are of scientific utility. Within certain careful limitations, these would seem to be justifiable. For nearly forty years, the writer has occupied the position which half a century ago was generally held by a majority of the medical profession in England, and possibly in America, a position maintained in recent years by such men as Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson of England, by Professor William James and Dr. Henry J. Bigelow of Harvard University. With the present ideals of the modern physiological laboratory, so far as they favour the practice of vivisection in secrecy and without legal regulation, the writer has no sympathy whatever. An ethical problem exists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Animals and Medicine

Download or read book Animals and Medicine written by Jack Botting and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals and Medicine: The Contribution of Animal Experiments to the Control of Disease offers a detailed, scholarly historical review of the critical role animal experiments have played in advancing medical knowledge. Laboratory animals have been essential to this progress, and the knowledge gained has saved countless lives-both human and animal. Unfortunately, those opposed to using animals in research have often employed doctored evidence to suggest that the practice has impeded medical progress. This volume presents the articles Jack Botting wrote for the Research Defence Society News from 1991 to 1996, papers which provided scientists with the information needed to rebut such claims. Collected, they can now reach a wider readership interested in understanding the part of animal experiments in the history of medicine-from the discovery of key vaccines to the advancement of research on a range of diseases, among them hypertension, kidney failure and cancer. This book is essential reading for anyone curious about the role of animal experimentation in the history of science from the nineteenth century to the present.

Book Animal Experimentation  Working Towards a Paradigm Change

Download or read book Animal Experimentation Working Towards a Paradigm Change written by Kathrin Herrmann and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal experimentation has been one of the most controversial areas of animal use, mainly due to the intentional harms inflicted upon animals for the sake of hoped-for benefits in humans. Despite this rationale for continued animal experimentation, shortcomings of this practice have become increasingly more apparent and well-documented. However, these limitations are not yet widely known or appreciated, and there is a danger that they may simply be ignored. The 51 experts who have contributed to Animal Experimentation: Working Towards a Paradigm Change critically review current animal use in science, present new and innovative non-animal approaches to address urgent scientific questions, and offer a roadmap towards an animal-free world of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of chapters all contributed by individuals who have presented their ideas at conferences and who take moderate stands with the use of animals in research. Specifically the chapters bear of the issues of: notions of the moral standings of animals, history of the methods of argumentation, knowledge of the animal mind, nature and value of regulatory structures, how respect for animals can be converted from theory to action in the laboratory. The chapters have been tempered by open discussion with individuals with different opinions and not audiences of true believers. It is the hope of all, that careful consideration of the positions in these chapters will leave reader with a deepened understanding--not necessarily a hardened position.
