Doctors against vivisection
International Doctors is an international legacy of doctors from
different countries who fight against vivisection on a scientific level. It was founded on the 24th of October 1987 in Zurich.
International Doctors are active in:
- Organising international scientific congresses against vivisection
- Publishing strict scientific documents in order to prove the
uselessness of vivisection
- Promoting conferences and debates by agencies, schools and
universities world-wide
- Funding researches that don't use animals
- Stimulating the development of truly scientific techniques,
therefore without the involvement of animals.
The association International Doctors is formed by scientists against
vivisection who work in the research fields where it is practised.
To International Doctors - LIMAV can apply people with a degree in
one or more of the following subjects: Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Biology, Pharmaceutical sciences, Chemistry,
Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies, Natural Sciences, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering.
The only duty is agreeing with the charter, "The Legacy's purpose is
to abolish animal experimentation". This Legacy represents a very
important international reality which is constantly growing: it
counts thousands of members throughout the world, encompassing
university teachers, researchers and free lanced professionals.
