Science, Ethics, and Public Policy: The Ethics of Animal Experimentation

The Foley Institute’s Science, Ethics, and Public Policy Series continues this week with: “The Ethics of Animal Experimentation:What is the Moral Status of Animals?”

What is the moral status of animals? Should they be used in scientific experimentation and under what constraints? Our panel of experts will discuss animal experimentation, with specific consideration of animal cognition, ethical principles and current practices, including at WSU.

Sylvie Cloutier is research assistant professor in the Department of Integrated Physiology and Neuroscience and the Center for the Study of Animal Well-being at WSU; Gary Varner is professor and head of the Department of Philosophy at Texas A&M University; Steven Russell is director of the Office of the Campus Veterinarian at WSU.
