About this title

Synopsis

Discusses animal rights and the morality of animal experiments, suggests ethical guidelines for the use of animals as test subjects, and identifies irrational attitudes towards animals

Reviews

Fox (Philosophy, Queens Univ., Kingston, Ontario) defends two theses: 1) the fact that animals can suffer yields them no moral entitlements; (2) since animals do not value their own lives, their lives do not have intrinsic value. From these he derives the view that any experiments benefiting humans are justified. Because the book is divided into 56 subsections it is eminently easy to read, but this arrangement inevitably renders the arguments a bit superficial. Proponents of animal welfare causes will not be persuaded by Fox, but neutral persons will find much factual information, not readily available elsewhere, to help them make up their minds. Recommended especially for the general reader. Sidney Gendin, Philosophy Dept., Eastern Michigan Univ., Ypsilanti
