A university research lab is proposing a new project to develop a more effective treatment for a painful human neurological disorder. The study involves testing on pigs, who will experience moderate pain but will not be killed. Researchers argue that pigs are biologically similar to humans and are necessary for understanding the drug’s effects.Using the ethical theories and arguments presented in Chapter 3, explain how both Singer and Regan would evaluate the proposed pig research. Then, discuss at least one of the objections raised in the chapter, and explain how either Singer or Regan would respond. Finally, offer your own reasoned judgment on whether the research should go forward.⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of this Learning Evaluation created in whole or part using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.
