Propuesta de manual de procedimiento y normativa para la creación de un comité de bioética para el empleo de animales en investigación y docencia

Abstract

In this project, we develop a regulation proposal based on the current national and international legal laws, that is a guide tool that contains dispositions and norms; as well as a Manual of Procedures in Bioethics destinated to teachers and students of the Veterinary Medicine Career of the University of Cuenca. Throughout this project, we have reviewed several bibliographic sources, such as digital databases, magazines, books, and laws that govern the country, etc., making of this a descriptive work. In addition, a survey was carried out for both teachers and students of the career to get a reference of their knowledge about Bioethics and the use of animals in teaching and research. Finally, this proposal will be the base to structure the Bioethics Committee and guide those who develop projects or practices by using alive animals and require their endorsement.
