what is AES?...
! the use of non-human animals in experiments
! although some research about animals involve only pure observation/natural behavior
! pure research: genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies
! applied research (experiment): biomedical research,xenotransplantation, drug development, cosmetic testing

in general
1.
Diseases process in human and animals have similarities
2.
Cell systems contain or manipulate only a part of the
organ system.
3.
Computer models lack the complexities of living entity

...in drug development...
! test of a new drug or a new medical device, done on
animal subjects, to see if the hoped-for treatment reallyworks and if it is safeto test on humans.
! Its about efficacy(including pharmacodynamics: m.o.a)and safety(clinical trial)

The council believes that the welfare of an animal ... should
be considered with reference to Five Freedoms.

Freedom from hunger and thirst
% Freedom from discomfort
%
Freedom frompain, injury and disease
%
Freedom to express normal behaviour
% Freedom from fear and distress
