Abstract

This article reports surveys of biology staff and students at Scottish universities, concerning attitudes to the use of animals in education. Opinion is very varied, among staff and students, but it is clear that the design of practical work on animals involves a set of choices, from a wide range of possibilities, and that ethical decisions form an important part of this process. There is also widespread agreement that ‘bioethics’ should be an integral part of biology teaching.
