This chapter addresses the reasonable pro-research position on animal research. It reviews several potential candidates for a defense of (at least some) animal research, ultimately decreasing the field to two broad positions: the lexical priority view and the discounting view. It shows that those who want a reasonable pro-research position to incorporate the widely adopted 3R program should find the discounting approach more plausible than the lexical priority approach. It then develops an approach to justifying discounting.

Keywords:   animal research, lexical priority approach, discounting approach, reasonable pro-research position, 3R program
