School no longer uses live animals By Meredith Cohn The Baltimore Sun (TNS) BALTIMORE — Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced Wednesday that it has abandoned the use of live pigs to train students, joining all but one other U.S. medical school in forgoing a practice that’s long been criticized by animal rights activists who consider it unnecessary in the age of computer simulation. While Hopkins officials maintained the remaining four-session surgical training course that used anesthetized swine was popular among third- and fourth-year stu-
Science Friday dents, they said it was no longer essential to train “the best doctors in the world.” “The latest task force to examine the pros and the cons and the ethics decided that the bar has to be pretty high to justify doing this,” said Audrey Huang, a Hopkins spokeswoman. “While students were huge fans of the course it felt like it wasn’t absolutely necessary.” The move leaves the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as the last holdout among medical schools in the United States and Canada, according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an animal rights group that has waged a decadelong battle to stop the use of animals in training. Hopkins officials have said in the past that the medical school complied with U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations and other institutional and governmental animal welfare guidelines, and that officials periodically took an in-depth look at the use of animals. Nonetheless, the physicians committee has orchestrated many events in opposition to the use of animals over the years, bringing lines of picketers and petitions signed by doctors inside and outside the medical institution.
