Abstract
In a perspective that assigns non-human sentient beings an important moral status, animal experimentation appears justified only when it is a necessary and sufficient condition to preserve our health, namely when it is the only means to achieve this goal (at least in principle the greater cognitive, emotional and social complexity of human beings would seem to justify a preference for them over less mentally complex individuals in dilemmatic situations). My paper examines Beauchamp and DeGrazia’s recent book on Principles of Animal Research Ethics, which, by developing and integrating the old conception of the Three R’s, helps us to identify the specific moral rules that must govern the scientific research involving animals.
