Scientists undoubtedly owe their great advance and knowledge in biomedical research to millions of animals which they use every year in often-times extremely painful and distressing scientific procedures. One of the important issues in scientific research is to consider ethics in animal experimentation. Since this is a crucial issue in the modern era of medical research, in this paper, we have provided some guidelines (most of which have been adopted from Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in the Care and Use of Animals provided by American Association of Psychologists) which could be useful for researchers to design studies on a variety of animals.
科学家们在生物医学研究中取得的巨大进步和知识无疑要归功于他们每年在常常极其痛苦和令人痛苦的科学实验中使用的数百万只动物。科学研究中的一个重要问题是在动物实验中考虑伦理道德。由于这是现代医学研究时代的一个关键问题,在本文中,我们提供了一些指导方针(其中大部分借鉴了美国心理协会提供的《动物饲养和使用中的伦理行为准则》),这些指导方针可能有助于研究人员设计针对各种动物的研究。
