Abstract |
Insects are used as laboratory animals in life sciences research. However, in contrast to vertebrate laboratory animals and certain cephalopods, the ethics of the use of insects in research and their well-being are neither an object of high importance in most laboratory protocols, nor defined by legislation. Despite being the most numerous animal group in the planet, their moral significance seemσ to be without interest for philosophy, in contrast to other animals. Traditional philosophical theories do not deal with their case, while biocentric and ecocentric theories are arbitrary, accepting their intrinsic value axiomatically, making their arguments impossible to justificate. Their large population and their small size, combined with the uncertainty regarding their ability to experience pain, create many gaps in the effort to morally justify our actions that concern insects. In this thesis, the grounding of a deontocratic ethical theory for our behavior towards insects is attempted. An attempt is made to recognize their moral significance and to estimate their moral importance, as well as to rank them in the moral sphere together with other morally significant entities. With the recognition of the ethical importance of insects, the bioethical issues that arise when experimenting with insects are developed and attempts are made to answer any questions within the framework of the new deontocratic regulatory framework.
