Thought experiments, sentience, and animalism [PDF]

SynthÈse, 2023
Animalism is prima facie the most plausible view about what we are; it aligns better with science and common sense, and is metaphysically more parsimonious. Thought experiments involving the brain, however, tend to elicit intuitions contrary to animalism.

Animal Welfare and Animal Rights

2018
In this chapter a distinction is made between animal welfare, for which a scientific approach is possible, and animal rights, which requires an ethical consideration. Our relationship with animals has changed most for food-producing animals, having evolved from one of necessity to one of exploitation of many of the managed animals.

Animal Research (See Animal Ethics; Animal Welfare; Animal Cloning)

2021
The use of animals in scientific research appears to be almost as old as the beginning of medicine. For example, vivisection is already reported in the Corpus Hippocraticum (4th to 1st century BC) and by Galen (2nd century). The use of animals was strongly revived in the Renaissance.

CRISPR in Animals and Animal Models

2017
CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized the generation of transgenic animals.

Animal Welfare and Animal Rights

Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 1988
Animal liberationists tend to divide into two mutually antagonistic camps: animal welfarists, who share a utilitarian moral outlook, and animal rightists, who presuppose a structure of basic rights. However, the gap between these groups tends to be exaggerated by their allegiance to oversimplified versions of their favored moral frameworks.
