A SOUND ETHICAL TREATMENT OF THE ANIMAL DEBATE
2 Mar 1999
Format:Paperback
Orlans et al have made a novel and invaluable contribution to the ethical debate concerning "The Human Use of Animals". As a biomedical researcher of fifteen years , I appreciated the frank objectivity that the authors brought to such morally complicated issues as animal experimentation, modern animal farming practices, and religious sacrifice. Each of the case studies presented invokes considerable soul searching and further challenges the reader to question whether we as humans are doing enough to meet our moral obligations to nonhuman animals. These moral obligations, highlighted in the various case studies, are not derived from any legalistic or heady philosophical meanderings but rather stem from an intrinsic sense of right and wrong. The case studies presented in this and hopefully future volumes of "The Human Use of Animals" should become required reading in biomedical ethics curricula.

The book is an interesting read. It covers the ethics of the cases pretty well but it is a bit biased as you would expect. Some of the arguments for their cases feels sloppily put together otherwise it is ok. It did have many cases that I had no knowledge of before.
