Abstract

There is a gaping disparity between the way we practise medical research and the way we practise medicine; it is a significant void and one that shows no signs of shrinking. While the UK and the NHS go about treating patients in a deontological fashion, based on the principles of an age-old oath of doing no harm, we are utilising cold utilitarianism in research on animals.
