LOST IN TECHNIFICATION
Uncovering the latent clash of societal values in Dutch public
policy discourse on animal-testing alternatives
Why do so many research practices still use research
animals, despite :
-the societal wish to decrease the number of research animals,
-the existence of public policy that aims to stimulate the development of alternative
methods to animal experimentation and
-the sky-high potential of emerging
technologies?
In Lost in Technification Meggie Pijnappel
(photo) offers a critical reflection on the technical promises of the established discourse
coalition on animal-testing alternatives in the Netherlands.
Her research focuses on the intersection of policy, research
funding and research practices in translating abstract societal values on
health, safety and animal welfare into concrete research programmes.
This research not only shows the difficulties that the
transition towards an animal-free research world entails, but it also provides a
means to stimulate more sustainable policy change.
