Animal Experimentation: Views From Two Classical Ethics
Theorists : 6 pages in length. The ethical nature of animal
experimentation has long been debated as to whether or not
it stands as a necessary element for humanity. After all, the
primary -- if not only -- reason animals are utilized in
laboratory tests is to further the interests of mankind, often
without the least bit of concern for the animals who forfeit
their lives in exchange for medical, cosmetic and household
product advancements. Classical ethics theorists Emile
Durkheim and Immanual Kant may have had similar
viewpoints on some issues, but when it came to concerns
over the ethical fortitude of animal experimentation, the
writer discusses how Durkheim would have befriended the
animals' plight long before Kant would have, who adopted a
utilitarian concept. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Rights :
A 7 page paper on the issue of wild versus domesticated
