[交流] 2012/12/21 news of the week@SCIENCE 之四:德国法院支持猕猴研究

Bremen, Germany 4

German Court Oks Macaque Research
德国法院支持猕猴研究


A long-running legal fight over animal research in Germany ended last week when a court ruled that University of Bremen neuroscientist Andreas Kreiter could continue his research on macaques. In 2008, Bremen authorities refused to renew Kreiter’s license for animal research, claiming that the knowledge gained from the experiments did not justify the suffering endured by the macaques, which have electrodes implanted into their brains. Kreiter and the university sued, and in 2009 a court ruled in their favor.

在德国,一场旷日持久的关于动物研究合法性的争吵上周终于画上了句号。法庭裁定Bremen大学神经学科学家Andreas Kreiter可以继续他对猕猴的研究。2008年,Bremen政府拒绝为Kreiter更新动物研究许可,声称从实验中获取的结果不足以证明猕猴所遭受的痛苦是必要的,在该实验中会把电极植入猴子的大脑。后来Kreiter和大学一起对政府的决定提起诉讼,并于2009年获得了法庭的判决支持。


The city-state of Bremen appealed—but the latest ruling, made on 11 December, found that the authorities were not justified in denying Kreiter his license, and ruled out further appeals. Research organizations welcomed the ruling as a fundamental decision in favor of the “freedom of research” clause in German law. (Kreiter had been allowed to continue his research during the court battle.) Activists opposed to the research have vowed to continue their fight through political means.

Bremen政府进而又提起上诉,但是12月11日的最新裁决判定政府方面不能证明拒绝给Kreiter颁发许可的合理性,而且此为终审裁决,政府不能上诉。研究机构对此表示认可,认为此次判决是一个“重大的决定”,支持了德国法律中的“科研自由”条款。(Kreiter被允许在法院处理诉讼期间继续他的实验。)反对动物实验的动物保护者们已经郑重宣布要通过政治途径将斗争进行到底。
