Chapter 15 
Institutional and 
Self- Regulation 
of Animal Use 
The public fears and distrusts science. Regulation— any regulation— may in the end make 
them fear it less. But scientists themselves have a duty , I believe, not just to argue their 
own case but to argue it in a manner acceptable to society as a whole. . . . [Fear] must be 
allayed if at all by scientists and doctors themselves , making their own case and making it 
intelligibly in public.

What’s happening in Washington is a red herring. The issue of the use of animals in re- 
search won't be resolved on Capitol Hill. The real action is right here on your front door 
step.
