Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-An exploration of the ethical, scientific, and religious views surrounding this highly emotional issue. Twenty-six short essays are divided into four topics: "Do Animals Have Rights?" "Is Animal Experimentation Justified?" "How Should Animal Experimentation Be Conducted?" and "Should Scientists Pursue New Forms of Animal Testing?" Written by educators, scientists, journalists, doctors, veterinarians, members of the clergy, and advocates from animal-rights organizations, the essays present diverse opinions about these various topics. Similar to David M. Haugen's Animal Experimentation (Greenhaven, 2000), this excellent volume will elicit group discussion and help to develop critical thinking and analysis of sensitive issues.

From Booklist
Gr. 6-12. An encapsulated history of vivisection since 370 B.C and an exploration of shifting attitudes about animal experimentation set the stage for the sometimes heated, sometimes heartfelt essays in this entry in the Opposing Viewpoints series. The first section argues the overall question of animal rights and the notion of animal rights activists as terrorists. The next two sections deal with animal experimentation (Is it vital? Is it ethical?), with a good deal of space devoted to the way animal experiments are conducted, particularly those using nonhuman primates, dogs, and rodents. The final section considers relatively new issues: genetic engineering, cloning, animal donors for human transplants. It's a well-balanced anthology of opinions from professors, clergy, doctors, and animal rights activists, with an excellent assortment of further resources to help students and others research the issues.
