Some scientists say it could end in a generation if we pursue the creation of "virtual humans" and living cell banks as research replacements. Tags: animal experimentation animalresearch medical researchscience. I just don't understand why.
The group is called NC3E (National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research). The Centre funds high-quality 3Rs research, organises workshops and symposia to disseminate and advance the 3Rs, and develops 3Rs information resources and guidelines.
The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. But many researchers - although adamant that animalresearch remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures.
I really believe the more people learn about what researchanimals go through, the more common decency becomes a factor. But how many animalresearch supporters (non-scientists) actually step into a room and observe an experiment? They are too disturbed, frightened, or threatened to do so.
Animal rights activists stretched a 60-foot banner across the Hawthorne Bridge {Saturday} morning targeting the Oregon National Primate Research Center at OHSU. In support of National Primate Liberation Week, the Portland Animal Defense League hung a banner that read "OHSU: Stop Killing Monkeys Now!"
Last Monday (January 18, 2010), this country reached a milestone with regard to animalresearch when a booklet on the ‘Guidelines for Ethics Review of Research Proposals Involving Animals in Sri Lanka’, was launched at a simple ceremony held at the Colombo Medical Faculty presided over by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Colombo, Prof.
I responded to a post on animalblog that cited a recent article in the journal "Proceedings" of the National Academy of Sciences. Here's my response on medical research in general. I recently had a discussion about medical research using animals. This story on HIV research is one example.
The proposed primate breeding facility would violate both the letter and the spirit of Puerto Rico’s progressive new law, which strictly limits the use of animals in experimentation. Tags: animal experimentation puerto rico animalresearch primates medical research.
Animal Person , someone who is clearly smarter than me, has a great analysis about the recent "Pepper" series in Slate about animalresearch. At least he didn't try to make me feel happy or warm and fuzzy about animalresearch. Animal Person points out this comment made by Daniel Engber, the author.
Here's a site for kids to program them to become "the next generation of laboratory animalscience professionals." the American Association for Laboratory AnimalScience Foundation. Experimenting on animals is fun and it helps everyone.even animals! Also, it's a great way to get girls interested in science!
They are certainly on the animalresearch kick. The University of Arizona College of Medicine won a $15 million federal stimulus grant to build a facility for researchanimals in downtown Phoenix. About 33 researchers and staff members will work in the 22,000-square-foot research facility.
Michelle Basso was a researcher at the University of Wisconsin who worked with primates. She testified in favor of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Now, she's been suspended from working with animals.
The last of nine monkeys that escaped from the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Hillsboro was found at 2 p.m. Workers baiting cages with apples recaptured eight animals Friday and Saturday. All the monkeys are healthy juvenile males and not involved in health research, officials said. Breeding for what?
From the Science Insider. Scott DeMuth, a sociology graduate student at the University of Minnesota charged last year with felony conspiracy under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act agreed yesterday to a plea bargain. Tags: animalresearchanimal enterprise terrorism act FBI.
Another animal experiment I would not support as a US taxpayer. The research project, led by Jack Bergman of McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate in Belmont, Mass., was one of 12 awarded radiobiology research grants through NASA's Human Research Program, the space agency announced October 27.
There are many excellent books on issues related to animalresearch. Know Your Adversary Part of being an effective activist on animalresearch issues is knowing the arguments in support of animalresearch. For sleuthing on animal experimentation, you will want to visit a library with good science holdings.
This statement is mainly motivated by a recent conversation with someone who has a science degree (I think it's biology), but who actually works for a clinical testing company. One of the issues raised by a member was that we need to listen to "science" more and that science will save us. Science does not solve everything.
