Animal Rights Discussion on KQED on Friday!

[Guest guest]

This is so exciting!! Please listen to KQED Science Friday tomorrow at 11 a.m.

 

Last week, German lawmakers voted to extend certain legal

rights to animals, a move that might limit the use of animals in

scientific experiments. In this hour of Science Friday, we'll look at

the debate over animal rights and animal experimentation.

Should animals have legal rights? How might such a move

affect biomedical research? Do we even need to use animal

models in experiments anymore?

 

Call in with your comments and questions at 1-800-989-8255,

and share your opinions online in our Listeners' Lounge at
