RT Article T1 Speculative Philosophy, the Troubled Middle, and the Ethics of Animal Experimentation JF The Hastings Center report VO 19 IS 2 SP 15 OP 21 A1 Donnelley, Strachan LA English YR 1989 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1937560376 AB Even to begin discussing the ethics of animal experimentation we must locate our place in the “ethical three-ring circus” of the debate among “human welfarists,” “animal rightists” and those in the “troubled middle.” A philosophy of “nature alive,” recognizing that some animals are more equal than others, can inform the troubled middle and ethically justify judicious animal research.
