ABSTRACT
By now, you may feel appalled, depressed or inspired. I hope you will be appalled at the ruthless exploitation of less economically fortunate humans, of the animals genetically mutilated in our laboratories and imprisoned in our factory farms. I hope you will be inspired by the sheer brilliance and wealth of ideas put forward by the contributors to this volume. Hopefully the inspiration will overcome any depression. Yet it is depressing to know that so many humans and animals with whom we share this planet are leading lives of pain, deprivation and suffering. Think again of the one person you know to represent the 800 million undernourished folk you do not know.
