One Health, One Ethic? Confronting the disunity of ethical oversight for human and nonhuman animal research by Rebecca Walker, PhD

The COVID-19 pandemic and global climate crisis each underscore how health is interconnected across species. The One Health movement aims to leverage these sites of mutual impact for shared benefit. Such benefit depends also on testing and developing health interventions using both human and nonhuman animal subjects. Yet, as some public health advocates and practitioners embrace a unified view of health, the ethical systems of research oversight have lagged. Human and nonhuman animal studies are managed through divergent oversight systems functioning under distinct ethical principles. While typically unquestioned, employing disunified ethical systems to guide research is conceptually remarkable. This talk critically assesses key potential justifications for this disunity in ethical oversight.
