title: Man's relation to experimental animals: modern times--the present situation in Switzerland.
abstract: The situation in Switzerland is characterized by a particularly violent antivivisectionist movement. A pending public vote on a constitutional amendment threatens to ban animal experiments totally. The scientific community has reacted by establishing binding Ethical Guide-Lines that should help the scientists to deal responsibly with the ethical conflict that follows from the principle of reverence for life: to reduce animal experiments and especially animal suffering as far as possible without denying man the fulfillment of his own claims to security.
