我国医学科研实验动物福利现状及对策

Current Situation and Countermeasures of Laboratory Animal Welfare in Medical Research in China

医学科研结果通常要借助动物实验这一有效手段获得,并且多以实验动物本身受到伤害或遭受痛苦为代价。如何在保证动物实验结果科学可靠的前提下来提升实验动物的福利是每一个医学科研工作者要考虑的问题。本文从我国医学科研实验动物福利现状出发,指出了我国与欧美发达国家之间的差异,并分析了造成我国科研实验动物福利滞后的原因。提出了只有加快制定我国的实验动物福利技术标准及规则、加强实验动物福利思想的宣传教育、建立科学的实验动物福利伦理审查制度等措施,才能促进我国实验动物福利水平快速提升。

The results of medical research are usually obtained by means of effective animal experiments,and at the expense of laboratory animals themselves being hurt or suffering. How to improve the welfare of laboratory animals on the premise of ensuring the scientific and reliable results of animal experiments is a problem that every medical researcher should consider. This paper, starting from the present situation of animal welfare in China’s medical scientific research, points out the differences between China and the developed countries in Europe and the United States, and analyzes the reasons for the lagging of animal welfare in scientific research and experiment in China. In order to promote the rapid improvement of the welfare level of experimental animals in China, the measures of speeding up the standards and rules of the laboratory animal welfare technology, strengthening the publicity and education of experimental animal welfare and establishing a scientific animal welfare ethics review system are proposed.
