Responsible conduct in animal research

Abstract

Laboratory animals play a crucial role in biomedical research – indeed many advances now incorporated into human health care would have been impossible without them. Informed and well-trained scientists have the privilege, but not the automatic right, to use animals as experimental subjects. This privilege must not be abused.
