Experiments, Animal Bodies and Human Values
No Customer Reviews
Experiments, Animal Bodies and Human Values presents a sociological examination of the ethics of using animals in biomedical experiments, exploring the manner in which science and technology have sought to advance the human body project by using animals as a resource for human gain. Such scientific developments are typically viewed as progress, a notion challenged by this book's analysis of the ways in which the animal body is exploited - and has become increasingly exploitable - in a bid to protect the human body project from perceived risks to health. Drawing on themes and issues in sociology, such as the construction and commodification of the body, risk in society and identity politics, Experiments, Animal Bodies and Human Values offers a rich discussion of the human use of non-human animals, shedding light on human embodiment and its relation to animal bodies. A timely and sophisticated exploration of key issues of moral and sociological concern, this book will appeal to those with interests in ethics, sociology, philosophy, politics and human-animal interaction.
