Animals used in biomedical research may experience pain or distress as part of the experimental protocol. By implementing humane endpoints, pain or distress can be prevented or alleviated whilst still meeting scientific aims and objectives. We invited experts from Arizona State University (Samantha Sullivan) and Loma Linda University (Obed Rutebuka), along with USDA and OLAW representatives (Louis DiVincenti and Axel Wolff), to respond to a scenario about the importance of defining humane endpoints in research protocols.

人道终点的定义


作为实验方案的一部分，用于生物医学研究的动物可能会经历疼痛或痛苦。通过实施人道终点，可以预防或减轻疼痛或痛苦，同时仍然满足科学目的和目标。我们邀请了来自亚利桑那州立大学 (Samantha Sullivan) 和洛马琳达大学 (Obed Rutebuka) 的专家，以及美国农业部和 OLAW 的代表（路易斯·迪文森蒂 (Louis DiVincenti) 和阿克塞尔·沃尔夫 (Axel Wolff)），来回答有关在研究方案中定义人道终点的重要性的情景。
