Arts One G.19
Bred for purpose – the inherent, situational and pathogenic vulnerability of animals in contemporary biomedical research
Using a new taxonomy of vulnerability developed in the context of human bioethics, I argue that nonhuman animals in contemporary research are inherently, situationally and pathogenically vulnerable. Yet the principles used to address the vulnerabilities of human subjects are inadequate to the case of animal subjects due, in part, to the peculiar and constructed nature of the contemporary laboratory animal. These creatures are frequently bred for particular experimental purposes and can have no possible existence outside the laboratory environment. In this paper I want to explore whether re-conceiving animals as patients akin to human participants in clinical trials can go some way to addressing the vulnerability of nonhuman animals used in research.
