Unknown Author

4.9/5 (23367 ratings)

Description:For the past twenty-five years the writer has interested himself in the study of the contending claims of those who advocate and of those who oppose experiments upon animals for the advancement of medicine. Altogether apart from the moral aspect of the vivisection question - in which the writer is passionately interested - it has always seemed to him that the scientific side has been so misrepresented by many apologists for vivisection and their dogmatic pronouncements have been so implicitly believed by those who have neither the opportunities nor the inclination to investigate them thoroughly, that in the interests, not less of the medical profession itself than of truth and common honesty, it is incumbent on those who have mastered the literature of the subject to expose the weakness of many of the claims made for vivisection by those who contemptuously assert that their opponents are ignorant and fanatical enemies of science, though possibly more or less amiable and well-meaning persons. It was therefore with a feeling of satisfaction such as Job would have contemplated his enemy's book had he taken the pains to write one, that he studied Mr. Paget's Experiments on Animals -satisfaction that the time had at length come when an eminent authority on medical science had been put forward by his colleagues to answer our case against physiological cruelty, and satisfaction that in a serious and in some respects trustworthy treatise we should have before us the best that could possibly be said on behalf of practices that so large a section of the thinking and humane public abhor. No doubt Mr. Paget has done the very utmost that could be done for what is a bad case - bad on the scientific side and infinitely worse on that of ethics....ContentsPART 1 /// EXPERIMENTS IN PHYSIOLOGYI Harvey and the circulation of the bloodII.
