Excerpt from The Influence of Antivivisection on Character: Defense of Research Pamphlet XXIV
On page 15 of the revised edition, it is correctly stated that Prof. Henry P. Bowditch of the Harvard Medical School, in some experiments on the circulation, etherized a cat and that then its sciatic nerve was divided, etc. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body of man and animals and passes down the back of the leg. After division of the nerve the portion going down the leg below the place where the nerve was divided was stimulated by an electrical current. As this part of the nerve was wholly cut off from the spinal cord and brain, by no possibility could any pain be felt. Yet a Boston lawyer, in a leaflet published by the New England Antivivisection Society, comments on a similar experiment as follows: It will be readily seen even by the casual reader that it involves an amount of agony beyond which science is unable 'to go. Just how the casual reader would be so well informed as to physi ology when a lawyer and two doctors not casual but intelligent and careful readers got things totally wrong, is not stated. Dr. Bowditch published a corree tion6 of this misstatement in 1896. In Spite of this, the New England Antivivisection Society in 1909, thirteen years after this public correction, was still distributing this lawyer's statement.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the influence of the anti-vivisection movement on the character of its proponents, arguing that it harms the moral fabric of its advocates. The author presents a series of distressing letters and quotes from anti-vivisectionists to provide evidence of the often cruel and vindictive passions aroused by this movement. The author argues that by putting a greater value on the well-being of animals than on the lives of human beings, anti-vivisectionism dehumanizes individuals and fosters a spirit of cruelty towards humanity. The author emphasizes that vivisection has led to major medical advancements, such as the development of vaccines and anesthetics, which have saved countless human lives. The book concludes by highlighting how anti-vivisection endangers human life by opposing essential medical research and that it hampers progress in many areas of medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
