Description
Summary:Argues for the right of incurably ill or disabled persons to hope for cures or relief from suffering through research using animals. The author, a disabled person himself, is offended that disabled and intractably ill persons and their families, who stand to gain the most by such research, have been ignored in the antivivisection debate. The author notes that disabled persons must speak out for work that affects potential cures or alleviation of suffering; he looks for a compromise that emphasizes human rights while including animal welfare.
