Ethics of animal experimentation from the perspective

Kantian beliefs summaries the Universal regulation Formation of the Categorical Imperative as a procedure for determining ethics of actions. This equation is a two part test. First, one conceives a maxim and considers whether the maxim could be a universal law for all reasonable beings. Second, one works out if rational beings would will it to be a universal law. Once it is clear that the maxim passes both prongs of the check, there are no exceptions.

The maxim "when answering a widow's investigation as to the environment and length of her late husbands death, one should habitually notify the reality considering the nature of her late husband's death" (M1) passes both components of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative. Consequently, according to Kant, M1 is a moral action.

The initial stage of the Universal regulation Formation of the Categorical Imperative needs that a maxim be unanimously applicable to all reasonable beings. M1 does well in transient the first stage. We can easily envisage a world in which paramedics always answer widows honestly when queried. Therefore, this maxim is logical and everyone can abide by it without initating a ordered impossibility. The next ordered step is to apply the second stage of the test.

The second requirement is that a reasonable being would will this maxim to become a universal law. In checking this part, you must conclude if in every case, a rational being would believe that the ethically correct activity is to notify the truth. First, it is clear that the widow expects to know ...
