Opposing Viewpoints Series - Animal Experimentation (hardcover edition)

From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up-An exploration of the ethical, scientific, and religious views surrounding this highly emotional issue. Twenty-six short essays are divided into four topics: "Do Animals Have Rights?" "Is Animal Experimentation Justified?" "How Should Animal Experimentation Be Conducted?" and "Should Scientists Pursue New Forms of Animal Testing?" Written by educators, scientists, journalists, doctors, veterinarians, members of the clergy, and advocates from animal-rights organizations, the essays present diverse opinions about these various topics. Similar to David M. Haugen's Animal Experimentation (Greenhaven, 2000), this excellent volume will elicit group discussion and help to develop critical thinking and analysis of sensitive issues.
