Abstract

Ethics is whatever you do when no one is observing you. These days it is very important to understand ethical issues when we are dealing with research on animals and humans. The 4 principles of ethics are: Autonomy—right to decide, Beneficence: One must remember that whatever we do should be done for benefit of patients, do no harm, Justice: best treatment and justice to all as far as possible. The animal toxicity studies are explained and then there can be debate on use of animals.
