Twenty-two-year-old James was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was five weeks old and is dependent on medication to stay alive - medication that has been tested on animals. Christina, a passionate animal rights campaigner, believes that experimenting on animals is ethically wrong and should be banned entirely. This short film explores the moral and practical issues relating to animal testing and encourages students to reflect upon the way in which animals are used in the modern world. It presents both religious and secular viewpoints, surrounding how we should view our relationship with animals, thus providing students with a spectrum of beliefs relating to the issues with which they can develop their own opinions and evaluate others in comparison.

PLEASE be sure to watch the film before using it in lessons. Find the film by searching the BBC Teach website or YouTube’s BBC Teach channel for “Is it ever right to experiment on animals? | Religious Studies - Matters of Life and Death"
