Document Summary
Lecture 6 - guest #1 animal ethics. Holly orlando and marie bedard (worked for ccac) All vertebrates and cephalopods (octopus and squid) used for researcher, teaching or testing. Any invertebrate and animals that are dead do not need ethical approval: eggs, embryos, fetuses, larvae (except for fish and amphibian larvae that have researched a stage where survival can reasonably be expected) Education and training: they are trying to reduce the dissection of animals for the purpose of identifying tissues. Most common are fish, mice, cattle and rats. Animal research has extended human lives by about 23. 5 years longer. Foundation for biomedical research (gives more examples) Nothing has been made that can replace the physical organism. We use a lot of animals, but we cannot recreate human conditions (ex. Pre-trials may look good, but then it won"t work on humans) During each phase, you are still documenting for ethicacy. Cost about 2-3 billion dollars and a long time.
