Nuffield Council report on animal research

The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has published a report on the ethics of research involving animals. The report was produced by a Working Party comprised of academic and industry scientists, philosophers, members of animal protection groups, and a lawyer. To inform discussions, the group held a public consultation and met with representatives from a wide range of organisations. The activities in this set of resources are based on the findings of the report.
