Author's Tranquility Press Presents: The Victorian Vivisection Debate: Frances Power Cobbe, Experimental Science and the "Claims of Brutes" by Theodore G. Obenchain
Author's Tranquility Press is proud to present The Victorian Vivisection Debate: Frances Power Cobbe, Experimental Science and the "Claims of Brutes [https://www.amazon.com/Victorian-Vivisection-Debate-Frances-Experimental/dp/0786471190/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VCK0A4D2WX7W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.J-ABHEtc4lioCNAuikU0KQ.jzkEfIw4iRNV5eRpKJlAaPPFTipfAbpqfVgffmBfdFw&dib_tag=se&keywords=978-0786471195&qid=1727221919&s=books&sprefix=978-0786471195%2Cstripbooks%2C298&sr=1-1]" by Theodore G. Obenchain. This compelling examination challenges readers to consider the justifiability of vivisection and the moral implications of subjecting live animals to suffering for the sake of human advancement.
Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, this book chronicles the intense discussions among renowned experimental scientists such as Joseph Lister, Louis Pasteur, and Robert Koch, who were pioneering revolutionary medical practices during a time when animal cruelty was rampant. The grim realities of bear-baiting and other forms of brutality fueled the fire of reformer Frances Power Cobbe, who dedicated over three decades to advocating for the prohibition of vivisection. Cobbe's activism highlights the struggle between scientific progress and ethical responsibility, making her a pivotal figure in the history of animal rights.
Obenchain meticulously details the journey of Lister, a London surgeon grappling with the constraints of medical limitations, whose fear of sepsis nearly crippled his ability to operate. Inspired by Pasteur's groundbreaking germ theory, Lister helped transform hospital care, yet his success was contingent upon the very animal experiments that raised ethical dilemmas. Alongside Koch and other contemporaries, these scientists laid the groundwork for modern medicine, often at the expense of animal welfare.
Bringing the discourse into the 21st century, Obenchain examines contemporary animal rights theories and the ongoing debate over vivisection, providing a thought-provoking analysis for readers who remain on the fence. The author offers a compelling credo that invites reflection on our responsibilities towards sentient beings and the implications of scientific progress.
