Ethical Issues in Animal Cell Culture

For a long time, animals have been employed in research and studies. Even in affluent countries with Judeo-Christian ethical foundations, unambiguous ethical principles and relevant legislation were only enacted in the last several decades. We address the fundamentals of animal research ethics, ethical review and compliance criteria for animal experiments around the world, “our” fundamentals of institutional animal research ethics instruction and emerging alternatives to animal research in a concise manner. This book was painstakingly put together for scientists who are interested in or participating in animal research. We will go over some of the most important animal ethics ideas in this chapter. Even though ethical review and compliance guidelines for animal experiments are similar across industrialized nations, ethical review and compliance guidelines for animal experimentation vary.
