Objections still fail: a response to Faria
Abstract
In her reply to my critical assessment of objections to the Weatherall report’s justification of non-human primate (NHP) research, Catia Faria focuses on three objections which she entitles ‘the disanalogy’, ‘the utilitarian calculus’ and ‘species overlap’. Faria finds my assessment unconvincing, butI argue that the objections still fail.
- research ethics
- animal experimentation
- moral status
- non-human primates
- weatherall report
