The Draize Eye Irritancy Test
Abstract
This paper discusses the harmful and fatal use of non-human animals, particularly rabbits, in the Draize eye irritancy test. It argues and demonstrates that such use is not scientifically valid if the results are applied to humans. Moreover, not only can this test result in extreme suffering (and death at the end) for non-human beings, dependence on this has the potential for harm to humans. Alternatives to such use are discussed in the context of being more defensible ethically and scientifically.
