Animal Neuroethics: the Ethical Implications of Animal Pain

Abstract
|
|
|
|
I ask three questions in this paper: (1) Do animals really feel pain? (2) Do all animals feel pain? (3) How much do animals feel pain? The pain which is morally significant is nociception accompanying phenomenological sensation. Many scholars answered the above questions by analogical reasoning which compares animal behavior with human one. But more neurophysiological studies are needed than analogical reasoning to show that animals also have morally significant pain. All vertebrates and cephalopod can be shown to feel pain.
