Abstract

Many scientific breakthroughs have depended on animal research, yet the ethical concerns surrounding the use of animals in experimentation have long prompted discussions about humane treatment and responsible scientific practice. First articulated by Russell and Burch, the 3Rs Principles of Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement have gained widespread recognition as basic guidelines for animal research. Over time, the 3Rs have transcended the research community, influencing policy decisions, animal welfare advocacy and public perception of animal experimentation. Despite their broad acceptance, interpretations of the 3Rs vary substantially, shaping statutory frameworks at various levels, with both technical and practical impacts.

实现对动物研究中 3R 原则的共同解释

许多科学突破都有赖于动物研究，然而围绕实验中使用动物的伦理问题长期以来一直引发着关于人道待遇和负责任的科学实践的讨论。由罗素和伯奇首次提出的 "3R "原则，即 "替代（Replacement）、减少（Reduction）和改进（Refinement）"，作为动物研究的基本准则得到了广泛认可。随着时间的推移，3R 原则已经超越了研究界，影响到政策决策、动物福利倡导和公众对动物实验的看法。尽管 3Rs 已被广泛接受，但对其的解释却大相径庭，影响着不同层面的法定框架，既有技术层面的，也有实践层面的。
