Critical assessments and reviews
Animal experiments have long been
the subject of controversy. Although many claims have been made either way, until recently, large-scale
scientific studies of their efficacy in advancing human healthcare have been
rare. Since 2004, however, several such studies have been published in
peer-reviewed scientific journals, and presented at international scientific
conferences, at which some have received awards. The results have been
remarkably consistent: the stress laboratory animals experience is greater than
commonly
understood, and experiments on them contribute far less to the advancement
of human medical progress than advocates often claim. The
abstracts and, usually, complete texts of these published studies, as well
as published reviews of
non-animal experimental models, and relevant governmental reports, are freely downloadable from
this site.
