 Should animals be experimented on - and sometimes sacrificed - in the service of humans?  How and where would you draw the line on the use of animals in research?  Even if the use of animals is justified in research that saves human lives,  should they be used?  Is the use of animals justified for testing cosmetics or for testing plastic surgery research?  What are the reasons for your response?  For more information, go to the APA site and article on the use of animals in research (below).</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.apa.org/research/responsible/research-animals.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.apa.org/research/responsible/"><U><B>Research with Animals in Psychology</B></U></A></div> <div> The reasons for animal use in research as outlined by APA.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="75ae0530.gif" border=0 width="480" height="339" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>Research on Human Subjects</B></I></div> <bR> <div> What limits, if any, should be set on psychological research that is conducted on humans?
