ABSTRACT
Research with animals has brought immense medical and psychological benefits to humankind that otherwise would never have occurred. The development of vaccines, modern surgical and transplant procedures, testing of new medications, drugs, and medical devices, behavioral methods such as biofeedback, programmed learning, and behavioral modifications all had their roots in animal research, along with the development of dozens of new diagnostic and analytical tools. There is no question that further advances will continue to require animals for the indefinite future.
