Anti-Vivisection

By Editor

Anti-Vivisection.—Perhaps some of the anti-vivisectionists are extreme, but we sympathize with the extremest of them. There may be occasional experiments that are necessary, but they are few indeed. We believe that the great mass of vivisection operations, the cutting of live animals for experimental purposes, is barbarously cruel and wholly unnecessary. And this lay opinion is based upon the testimony of many able physicians and surgeons. In the words of Forbes Winslow, D. C. L., Oxon., M. R. C. P., London, "It is most unjustifiable and cruel, and in no way advances medical science." It does more harm in hardening the heart and conscience of young students than it can ever do good.
