are more valuable than other animals, and some animals have lives that are more valuable than some human lives" (Beauchamp 368). Vivisection, the
practice of experimenting on animals, began as the result of a religious ban against the use of human corpses for medical study. When the ban was lifted, it was
too late for the sacrificial animal, because "vivisection was already entrenched" (Animal Experimentation) within the medical world. Geoff Paddock, a representative for Imperial Chemical Industries, contends that animal testing,

component: "I abhor vivisection. It should at least be curbed. Better, it should be abolished. I know of no achievement through vivisection, no scientific discovery, that could
