The use of animals in research and teaching: guidelines and directives for their treatment
Keywords:
animal experimentation, animal model, bioethics, education, legislationAbstract
Animal model experimentation has played an important role in biomedical knowledge development and educational processes, increasing our human and animal knowledge about their structure and function. However, from the ethical and moral point of view, this topic has been a discussion and controversy point. Therefore, guidelines have emerged across the time to regulate animal experimentation in order to diminish animal abuse, so that, research quality as well as the educational practice get to improve. This article is a brief history review about the use of animals in research and the current guidelines that regulate various practices. Altogether, knowing the official normative about the use and animal models treatment will allow that students, professors and researchers, from all academic levels, specially, for those who are in high school, improve their research practicing and deepen their knowledge about anatomy, physiology and animal behavior.
