Ethical aspects of research on laboratory animals
https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2018.62.01
Abstract
The review presents the basic ethical principles and rules of laboratory animal research. Modern ethics of humane treatment of animals should be based on a properly designed experiment to obtain high-quality results. Science is developing in the direction of minimizing the use of animals in experiments, if it is possible to obtain similar results by alternative methods.
Supporting agencies: The study was supported by Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation #6.1766.2017, FASO (BRK: 0556-2017-0003).
