Publisher's Synopsis
The Healing Art And The Claims Of Vivisection: A Lecture (1890) by Edward Berdoe is a historical text that explores the controversial practice of vivisection in medical research. Berdoe, a physician and medical writer, presents a lecture that argues against the use of vivisection on animals for the purpose of medical experimentation. He argues that the practice is cruel and unnecessary, and that it is not a reliable method for advancing medical knowledge. Berdoe instead advocates for alternative methods of research, including the study of human anatomy and pathology. The book provides a fascinating insight into the debates surrounding vivisection in the late 19th century and sheds light on the ethical considerations that continue to be debated in medical research today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
