Abstract
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of lethal inherited neurodegenerative disorders in humans and many animal species. My research on sheep and cattle with NCL raises critical questions on a range of ethical issues, specifically the claim that sheep and cattle are useful models for the disease in humans and other related moral problems. My reflections on moral status of animals and validity of animal models are outlined in this paper.
