Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
Benefits of animal research
Responda
  • Greater control and objectivity in experiments (no demand characteristics)
  • Some animals are physiologically similar to humans so generalisations can be made
  • Animals used (eg. rats) produce offspring very quickly so large samples can be bred
  • Can test animals in ways which would be unethical on humans
  • They are identical to us anyway
  • They don't mind being experimented on

Questão 2

Questão
We can justify using animals in research by using the principle of [blank_start]utility[blank_end] (greater [blank_start]good[blank_end]). Darwin argued that using animals for research was justified if it relieved [blank_start]human suffering[blank_end] but was [blank_start]wrong[blank_end] if it was done simply out of [blank_start]curiosity[blank_end].
Responda
  • utility
  • independent assortment
  • ethics
  • good
  • bad
  • human suffering
  • humans
  • wrong
  • right
  • curiosity
  • cruelty

Questão 3

Questão
Limitations/weaknesses of animal research
Responda
  • Animals have rights (Regan claimed animals should never be tested on, Singer believed animals should have the same rights as humans and making animals seem lesser than us is spiecesism)
  • Often lab based, lacking ecological validity
  • Differences between animals and humans mean we cannot make good comparisons/generalisations
  • Not all research directly benefits humans - still ethical?
  • Animals can be harmed (unethical)
  • No informed consent
  • Sad

Questão 4

Questão
The [blank_start]National Centre[blank_end] for the 3Rs of Animals (NC3Rs) was set up to encourage, research and support the use of the 3Rs. [blank_start]Replacement[blank_end] is the act of trying to use better alternatives i.e. try to avoid use of animals [blank_start]Refinement[blank_end] is the act of making research as ethical as possible by reducing harm and maximising animal welfare eg. provide comfortable cages, comfort (if required), space etc. [blank_start]Reduction[blank_end] is about using the minimum amount of animals possible
Responda
  • Replacement
  • Retention
  • Refinement
  • Releasing
  • Reduction
  • Result
  • National Centre
  • Neuroscience Community

Questão 5

Questão
The [blank_start]Animals Scientific Procedures Act[blank_end] (19[blank_start]86[blank_end]) ensures that protected animals ([blank_start]all[blank_end] vertebrates and the octupus) used in studies are treated well. Regulates the research that animals are used for - [blank_start]acceptable[blank_end] examples: environmental toxicology, education, genetic modification, [blank_start]medical[blank_end] advances.
Responda
  • Animals Scientific Procedures Act
  • Animals Seriously Precious Act
  • 86
  • 68
  • all
  • no
  • acceptable
  • unacceptable
  • medical
  • transportation

Questão 6

Questão
The BPS also regulate what animal experiments can take place. If the necessary criteria are not met then the research may still be able to go ahead if the psychologist can justify the benefit to humans (and outweigh the cost to the animal). They ensure all labs which perform animal research are licensed to do so, as well as each researcher having a personal license.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 7

Questão
Ethical issues for animals
Responda
  • Maternal deprivation
  • Physical harm
  • Psychological harm
  • Removal from natural habitat
