Cruel Deception, The: The Use of Animals in Medical Research by Robert Sharpe Thorsons Publishers, 1988 Sharpe argues that vivisection has done more harm than good.

Unheeded Cry, The: Animal Consciousness, Animal Pain, and Science by Bernard E. Rollin Oxford University Press, 1990 Rollin explains why and how scientists have been so cavalier about animal use, animal pain, and the moral questions they raise. He explores the damage caused by this position, both morally and scientifically. He traces the development of changing attitudes towards animals and shows how growing social concern about the way we treat them is forcing science to return to a common-sense view. Nonfiction |

Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us about Health and the Science of Healing by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D., and Kathryn Bowers Alfred A. Knopf, 2012 In easy-to-read prose, the authors explore the common bonds between nonhuman and human animals and the various diseases and conditions both experience. From why animals faint to how they (and we) get fat, from sexually transmitted diseases to animal adolescence, the authors take us through studies that show our common bonds and what medical doctors can learn from veterinarians and vice versa. While the purpose of the book is not to inform about the use of animals in invasive research, a case certainly can be made that since we and they are so close as to learn from each other, why are we experimenting on them?
