Rethinking animals in research: Developing a novel ethical framework

目前的动物伦理方法面临着解决动物研究中重大问题的挑战。这些问题包括：对研究工作者和动物的伤害，从动物到人类的结果转化不佳，导致无效的治疗和未来研究工作的方向不佳。该项目通过开发一种创新的，知情的动物伦理关系方法来解决这些挑战。新方法将提供一个新的框架，最大限度地减少对人类和动物的伤害，并提高实验结果的质量。好处包括动物研究的道德实践更加健全，有限的研究资源的部署更有针对性。

Current approaches to animal ethics face challenges addressing significant problems in animal research. These problems include: harms to research workers and animals, poor translation of results from animals to humans leading to ineffective treatments and poorly directed future research efforts. This project addresses these challenges by developing an innovative, empirically-informed relational approach to animal ethics. The new approach will deliver a novel framework that minimises harms to humans and animals, and improves the quality of results obtained from experiments. Benefits include a more ethically robust practice of animal research and more targeted deployment of finite research resources.
