Description
This comprehensive examination of ethical research practices with nonhuman primates addresses one of the most challenging areas in bioethics. Developed in collaboration with the National Anti-Vivisection Society, the book articulates three foundational pillars that should guide all research involving primates.
The authors—Andrew Fenton, L. Syd M Johnson, and Mary Lee Jensvold—bring together expertise in philosophy, ethics, and primatology to present a balanced approach to research ethics. Rather than simply advocating against primate research, the work seeks to establish rigorous ethical frameworks that protect animal welfare while recognizing legitimate scientific inquiry.
This element in the Cambridge University Press Bioethics and Neuroethics series provides scholars, researchers, institutional review boards, and animal ethics committees with practical guidance for evaluating and conducting responsible primate research. It serves as an essential resource for anyone involved in decisions affecting nonhuman primates in research settings.
