Ethics in Science and Animal Research
Animal models are important tools in the study of alcohol and drug use, abuse, and dependency because they allow researchers to test methods before use on humans or to find cures for human addiction. Animal models have been developed to study various aspects of alcohol/drug use and dependency. Despite this ongoing research of drugs on animals, each subject is carefully held under supervision with utmost care. All experiments are controlled and it is made sure that no factors will ever contribute to the harm of animal subjects. Scientists execute carefully controlled experiments and ensure that no animal would is intentionally/accidentally harmed or injured in the process of these tests.
