Resumen
Este trabajo de fin de grado trata sobre los proyectos de investigación que involucran
animales vivos, haciendo un recorrido desde la apreciación del animal como sujeto de
investigación hasta los distintos modelos animales utilizados hoy en día, pasando por todas las
leyes que se han desarrollado al respecto para proteger el bienestar animal.
Los modelos animales son ampliamente asumidos y aceptados en la comunidad científica por
los grandes avances que se consiguen en distintas áreas mediante su utilización, por lo que es
de primera necesidad una normativa que regule todos los aspectos relacionados con la cría,
transporte, suministro y utilización en experimentación para preservar el bienestar de los
animales. En esto se centrarán los puntos más desarrollados del trabajo, para intentar
proporcionar una síntesis de los aspectos éticos y legales que todo investigador debe conocer
antes de plantearse comenzar un experimento con animales vivos.
This final degree paper is about the research projects involving live animals, from the appreciation of the animal as a research subject to the different animal models used today, through all the laws that have been developed to protect these animals. Animal models are widely assumed and accepted in the scientific community for the advances that are achieved in different areas through their use, so it is essential to have rules to regulate all aspects related with breeding, transportation, supplying and use in experimentation to safeguard the animal welfare. The most important parts of this paper will be focused on this, trying to provide a synthesis of ethical and legal issues that every researcher should know before considering starting an experiment with live animals.
