The Nuffield Council on Bioethics provides resources on the ethics of animal experimentation.
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics is an independent body that examines and reports on ethical issues in biology and medicine. It was established by the Trustees of the Nuffield Foundation in 1991, and since 1994 it has been funded jointly by the Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council.
The Council advises policy makers and stimulates debate in bioethics. The Council's terms of reference require it to identify and define ethical questions raised by recent advances in biological and medical research in order to respond to, and to anticipate, public concern; to make arrangements for examining and reporting on such questions with a view to promoting public understanding and discussion, which may lead, where needed, to the formulation of new guidelines by the appropriate regulatory or other body; and in the light of the outcome of its work, to publish reports; and to make representations.
The Council has produced a number of teaching resources about the use of animals in research and a report (2005) on The Ethics of Research Involving Animals.
