Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the rise and fall of the anti-vivisection movement in England, a movement that began with the medical profession itself. The author argues that the movement was not a reckless outburst of misplaced sentiment, but that it took its rise in the humane protests of English doctors against cruelty and abuse. The book traces the movement's origins in the 19th century, showing how it grew out of concerns about the suffering of animals in physiological experiments and how it eventually led to the passage of the Vivisection Act of 1876. The book also explores the ethical and philosophical issues raised by vivisection, and it provides a valuable historical perspective on a controversial topic.
