Summary: Vivisection if good?
Comment: At first I was unsure if I wanted to read a pro vivisection book. But I thought I might as well. Professor Fox offers many of same old arguments that scientists want the public to hear. Namely, that any pain & suffering that animals may experience in experiments is more than justified if it helps humanity. He also offeres one unique one. It's his Planet of The Apes argument. It's a hoot. Surprisingly, Professor Fox only half believes the things he writes about. Through out the book he does want to believe that vivisection is okay,( including his witnessing of a burn experiment involving a pig ) but you can also sense that he is not 100% sure of it either. However, to the shock of many in the scientific community, a few months after Professor Fox book was published. He publicly announced that he no longer supports vivisection. Professor Fox is now an anti-vivisectionist, and reportedly even became a vegetarian as well. So if your looking for information to help support your belief that vivisection is acceptable, you may like this book. But keep this in mind: the arguments in this book couldn't even convince the guy who wrote it
