Discourse about the use of animals in biomedical research usually focuses on two issues: its empirical and moral use. The empirical issue asks whether the use of nonhumans in experiments is required in order to get data. The moral issue asks whether the use of nonhumans can be defended as matter of ethical theory. Although the use of animals in research may involve a plausible necessity claim, no moral justification exists for using nonhumans in situations in which we would not use humans.
其实践性用途和道德性用途。实践性问题是询问在实验中使用非人类动物是否是获取数据所必需的。道德性问题是询问从伦理理论的角度来看，使用非人类动物是否合理。虽然在研究中使用动物可能涉及一种看似合理的必要性主张，但在那些我们不会使用人类的情况下使用非人类动物，是没有道德依据的。
