Ethical Problems And Countermeasures Of Animal Experiment

Animal experiment is a powerful tool to explore the truth,which is important to the development of health-care and technology.As the scales of animal experiments expand and the numbers of experimental animals increase,there are increasingly debates focusing on the ethical issues of animal experiments.Whether animals can enjoy the same right to life and freedom as human beings as independent individuals?Whether human beings should provide them with necessary welfare in the process of experimenting with animals? How should the ethical review of animal experiments be strictly implemented? Whether human beings should undertake the obligation to protect animals from unnecessary harm and suffering in the process of experiment? Whether human beings should scientifically and systematically formulate laws and regulations for the protection of animal rights? Around these issues,people have launched a heated discussion.In essence,it is the conflict and deviation between technological rationality and humanistic spirit for human beings to pursue truth.The discussion is not only the researcher’s theoretical self-consciousness,but also the rational response to practical problems.Therefore,in-depth and systematic research on the ethical issues of animal experiments has important theoretical value and practical guiding significance.Therefore,in-depth and systematic research on the ethical issues of animal experiments has important theoretical value and practical guiding significance.The paper is divided into five parts:Part 1: introduction.It analyzed the background of the topic selection of the paper,introduced the purpose and significance of the research,systematically sorted out and reviewed the existing research results,briefly described the research methods and innovations of this paper.Part 2: the research basis of its ethical issues.It defined the core concepts involved in the research;analyzed the theoretical basis of the research from the theory of animal rights,humanism and animal welfare;analyzed the practical basis of the research from the scale of the experiment,its application and significance.Part 3: the ethical issues and reasons of animal experiments.It systematically sorted out the ethical issues in animal experiments,pointed out the problems in the current animal experiments,such as violation of the right to life and freedom of experimental animals,animal abuse,deterioration of animal living environment,inhumane animal treatment after experiments,analyzed the reasons from experimental personnel,ethical supervision and regulations.Part 4: the principles and measures.It put forward the ethical principles that should be followed in animal experiments,which including the "3R" principle and the "5F" principle.Based on these two principles,the ethical problems existing in animal experiments was solved,the unity of scientific rationality and humanistic spirit was realized,the education of animal experiment personnel in bioethics was improved,the management and control of animal experiment ethics supervision institutions was strengthened,the laws and regulations for the protection of experimental animals’ rights was improved,humane handling of animals was ensured,research on alternative experimental techniques was carried out.Part 5: the conclusion.research findings were summarized.Based on the "3R" principle and the "5F" principle,animal experiments should take into account scientific rationality and humanistic spirit.At the same time,it points out the shortcomings of this paper,which lacks of empirical research and the comprehensive collection of foreign data,these two issues needs to be paid attention to in the future research.
