The Baby Fae experiment has highlighted the growing trend in medicine of using animal parts in the treatment of humans. This paper raises the question of the logical and moral justification for these current practices and their proposed expansion. We argue that the Cognitive Capacity Principle establishes morally justified necessary and sufficient conditions for the use of non-human animals in medical treatments and research. Some alternative sources for medical uses are explored as well as some possible programmes for their implementation.
“宝宝费伊”实验凸显了医学领域中使用动物器官治疗人类这一日益增长的趋势。本文提出了关于这些当前做法及其拟议扩展的逻辑和道德合理性问题。我们认为，认知能力原则为在医学治疗和研究中使用非人类动物确立了道德上合理的必要和充分条件。文中还探讨了一些医学用途的替代来源以及一些可能的实施计划。
