{"product_id":"the-ethical-case-against-animal-andrew-linzey-9780252041327","title":"The Ethical Case Against Animal Experiments","description":"At present, human beings worldwide are using an estimated 115.3 million animals in experiments--a normalization of the unthinkable on an immense scale. In terms of harm, pain, suffering, and death, animal experiments constitute one of the major moral issues of our time. Given today's deeper understanding of animal sentience, the contributors to this volume argue that we must afford animals a special moral consideration that precludes their use in experiments. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ethical Case against Animal Experiments\u003c\/i\u003e begins with the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics's groundbreaking and comprehensive ethical critique of the practice of animal experiments. A second section offers original writings that engage with, and elaborate on, aspects of the Oxford Centre report. The essayists explore historical, philosophical, and personal perspectives that range from animal experiments in classical times to the place of necessity in animal research to one researcher's painful journey from researcher to opponent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA devastating look at a contemporary moral crisis, \u003ci\u003eThe Ethical Case against Animal Experiments\u003c\/i\u003e melds logic and compassion to mount a powerful challenge to human cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Linzey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252041321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252041327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Andrew Linzey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086445981951,"sku":"9780252041327","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5972cbb1-acfd-4091-a31a-069f3fa02e34.jpg?v=1769094716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethical-case-against-animal-andrew-linzey-9780252041327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
