Abstract

TELLEZ BALLESTEROS, Elizabeth Eugenia  and  VANDA CANTON, Beatriz. The three C's a broader proposal to the three R's for an ethical praxis in biomedical research. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2021, n.51, pp.123-139.  Epub Mar 29, 2021. ISSN 1886-5887.

The 3C's proposal presented here for an ethical research with animals is based on Carol Newton's 3S's and includes the 3R's. It consists of: science with integrity, objective criteria and culture of care. Science with integrity is done through an adequate scientific method, working honestly and in compliance with regulations. The objective criterion is based on the retrospective evaluation, the harm-benefit analysis and the three R's; and the culture of care is achieved through the application of bioethics, animal welfare and responsibility towards animal's lives. All concepts overlap and are linked to contribute a good practice in biomedical research with animals.

Keywords : animals; biomedical research; 3 C's; good praxis; science with integrity; objective criterion; culture of care.
