?:abstract
  • This thesis examines public opinion on two issues. Both deal with ethical dilemmas and questions that emerge as a consequence of biomedical research practice and knowledge, which potentially can create tensions between concerns in the general public and interests among stakeholders and political decision makers. The first theme regards the dilemma between using and inflicting suffering on animals in medical research in exchange for a better understanding of diseases and to develop medicines against these diseases. The aim is to delineate the prevalence of different attitudes to the use of animal research among the Danish public to compare these attitudes and the additional perception of arguments commonly met among stakeholders in order to assess likely scenarios with regard to public pressure on animal research policy. As a by-product of this research theme, how and to what degree, if at all, people can be said to hold attitudes to this question is also discussed and analyzed. The research finds that the Danish public, in general, hold conflicting values about animal research, since they are concurrently concerned with potential human medical progress and animal cost. However, from this outset, people prioritize different values, and three underlying attitude stances were identified in this respect: Approvers (encompassing 30-35% of the Danish public), Disapprovers (15 to 20% of the Danish public), and Reserved (approximately 50% of the Danish public). Furthermore, other than a small and very critical subgroup within the Disapprovers, people are more or less prone to use cost-benefit evaluations when assessing specific animal research designs.
