christian views on the use of animals in medical research

Animals were made for humans to control and rule (Genesis 1)

Animals deserve respect and value as part of God’s creation

It’s okay to use animals in medical research if it helps save lives

Animals are not human beings and do not have rights, but they should shown respect

The Roman Catholic Church emphasises we should be more concerned about human suffering than animal suffering

If we don’t respect animals, we don’t respect ourselves

Scientists should never test on animals whether it helps save lives or not

Treating animals with cruelty is a misuse of God's command to care for creation
