O papel da bioética nas comissões de ética animal

Abstract

<jats:p>Resumo As diretrizes para usar animais como modelos experimentais transpuseram o campo bioético e chegaram ao âmbito jurídico. Se por um lado isso favoreceu a normatização de parâmetros físicos e biológicos voltados ao bem-estar animal, por outro, acrescentou demandas burocráticas que ocuparam a reflexão anteriormente destinada à resolução de conflitos éticos. Este estudo quantitativo objetivou analisar a opinião de membros, coordenadores e colaboradores brasileiros das comissões de ética no uso de animais sobre o funcionamento desses dispositivos legais. Os 114 participantes demonstraram aderir à legislação; contudo, apontaram aumento de conflitos potencialmente solucionáveis na esfera bioética. Embora importante para o bom funcionamento das comissões, a bioética foi definida como deficitária, precisando retomar seu papel norteador nas deliberações. Essa conclusão indica a necessidade de incorporar membros com formação em bioética, além de investir na capacitação frequente do colegiado e dos pesquisadores envolvidos em experimentação animal.

“…For example, moral consideration regarding the meaning of human cloning and the resurrection of an extinct species became the source of intense arguments and contemplation regarding human and animal bioethics between researchers after the successful cloning of Dolly, the somatic cell cloned sheep, in 1996. Various other subjects are also considered in animal bioethics including eugenics, euthanasia, animal behavior welfare, animal right, animal biotechnology, animal testing, livestock and pet rearing (Wolfe, 2010;Simmonds, 2018;Jankoski and Fischer, 2019).…”

“…However, regardless of arguments between scholars regarding the origin of this term, it is widely accepted that this field emerged in the U.S. before spreading worldwide (Susan. and Botzler, 2017;Jankoski and Fischer, 2019). Animal bioethics is being continuously developed as the number of institutions of higher education that offer a course in the field of animal life industry or specialization increases.…”

“…Preclinical trials and animal bioethics using animal models for human disease as animal biomodels can be discussed together in the science of animal biomodels, which is a new university subject for the future development of the animal life industry. The contents of animal bioethics may include the definition of life, origin of life, crisis of life, morals and ethics, animal stress, animal health and diseases, scientific research (paper creation), livestock and pet ethics, production of animal biomodels and ethical dilemmas that occur in animal testing (Marie et al, 2005;Bracke and Hopster, 2006;Broom, 2007;Fraser, 2008;Wolfe, 2010;Mellor, 2016;Gygax, 2017;Simmonds, 2018;Jankoski and Fischer, 2019). The emergence of animal bioethics in bioethics solves continuous and rigid Sang J. Anim.…”

“…Bioethics led to the experience of an epistemological change that could be explained with biomedical ethics while animal bioethics was promoted and developed under a separate category. Animal bioethics will be a great help to improve our understanding of the continuous connection between humans and animals and moral rights, welfare and the role of animals beyond the simple ideas of humans (Beauchamp and Frey 2012;Susan and Botzler, 2017;Jankoski and Fischer, 2019;Park, 2022). Conclusion: An animal biomodel, which is one of the future agriculture algorithms, is an important biological tool in animal life convergence studies combining general technologies in the digital livestock system, biomedicine and bio-healthcare.…”
