Animals and Medicine: The Contribution of Animal Experiments to the
Control of Disease offers a detailed, scholarly historical review
of the critical role animal experiments have played in advancing
medical knowledge. Laboratory animals have been essential to this
progress, and the knowledge gained has saved countless lives-both
human and animal. Unfortunately, those opposed to using animals in
research have often employed doctored evidence to suggest that the
practice has impeded medical progress. This volume presents the
articles Jack Botting wrote for the Research Defence Society News
from 1991 to 1996, papers which provided scientists with the
information needed to rebut such claims. Collected, they can now
reach a wider readership interested in understanding the part of
animal experiments in the history of medicine-from the discovery of
key vaccines to the advancement of research on a range of diseases,
among them hypertension, kidney failure and cancer. This book is
essential reading for anyone curious about the role of animal
experimentation in the history of science from the nineteenth
century to the present.
