TitleStatement by the Royal Society, for presentation to the Royal Commission on Vivisection
Date[February 1907]
DescriptionArgues that the experimental method of investigating nature is the main cause of the 'remarkable development of science in modern times'. Argues that especially in physiology, animal experimentation has made this advancement possible and always aims to alleviate the suffering of mankind - gives examples of testing medicines and surgical operations. Advises caution in proposals for legislation that would limit experimental science, and that safeguards against improper experimentation on living animals should not hamper the 'legitimate employment of that method'. Worries that heavy restriction would cripple England's scientific growth.
