Über Vivisection

Vivisection: A Prize Essay (1871) by George Fleming is a book that explores the controversial topic of vivisection, the practice of conducting experiments on live animals for scientific research. The book was written in response to a competition held by the Victoria Street Society for the Abolition of Vivisection, and it won first prize.Fleming begins by discussing the history of vivisection, tracing its origins back to ancient Greece and Rome. He then examines the various arguments for and against the practice, including its potential benefits for medical research and its ethical implications for animal welfare.Throughout the book, Fleming provides detailed descriptions of various experiments conducted on animals, including dogs, rabbits, and frogs. He also discusses the physiological and psychological effects of vivisection on these animals, as well as the potential risks and limitations of using animal models for medical research.Ultimately, Fleming argues that while vivisection may have some benefits for scientific research, it is a cruel and unethical practice that should be abolished. He suggests alternative methods of research, such as computer simulations and in vitro testing, that could provide more accurate and humane results without the need for animal experimentation.Overall, Vivisection: A Prize Essay (1871) is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on an important issue that continues to be debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
