The work explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding vivisection—the practice of performing operations on live animals for scientific experimentation—while advocating for reform in how such practices are conducted. The author brings to light the concerns of animal suffering and public sentiment toward experimentation, weighing utility against morality in the context of medical research. The opening of the text lays a foundation for understanding vivisection through a personal and historical lens, detailing the author's journey from being a supporter to a critic of the practice. Leffingwell reflects on early arguments from antivivisection movements and juxtaposes them with the defensive rhetoric from those who favor unrestricted experimentation. The introduction makes it clear that while some animal experimentation may be justified, there must be stringent ethical standards and regulations to prevent cruelty and secrecy. By discussing the evolution of public perception and regulatory measures over time, the author sets the stage for a deeper examination of the scientific and moral implications of vivisection throughout the work.
