| Abstract | This article discusses the empirical (need to obtain data) and moral (can it be defended as a matter of ethical theory) use of animals for research purposes. The author concludes that though the use of animals in research may involve a plausible necessity claim, no moral justification exists for using nonhumans in situations in which we would not use humans. |
