Product Description
Review
"Dr. Fadali has drawn on deep insights and long experience from his training and practice as a specialist and consultant in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery to produce a text that is passionate, informative and original as well as highly readable. Thoughtful people who have not before considered this issue will find their intellectual curiosity completely satisfied." -- Peter Mansfield, M.D., Past President, Doctors in Britain Against Animal Experiments
"Dr. Fadali has taken a complex and difficult issue, and rendered it comprehensible. He examines animal experimentation, not only from an ethical standpoint, but also from an eminently practical view of the problems it has caused for both doctors and patients. More than that, Dr. Fadali has shown us what to do about it, including how research can be conducted in much better ways without animals." -- Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Washington D.C.
"It takes a surgeon/scientist of Dr. Fadali's stature, clarity and courage to de-bunk the dogma of the 'indispensability of animal research.' In this remarkable book, he illuminates the dark dungeons of animal experimentation with the bright light of reason and compassion." -- Michael Klaper, M.D., Author - - Vegan Nutrition: Pure and Simple
"The reality of damage to humans is stressed and documented in the first four chapters, but it pervades the whole book. Fadali is a man if immense culture...He also has an immense capacity to make himself understood, to adapt himself to the knowledge level of the average reader." -- Pietro Croce, M.D., Professor Emeritus, Pathology, University of Milano, Italy
"The task Dr. Fadali has taken upon himself is one of complete self-sacrifice...Animal Experimentation: A Harvest of Shame is a monument to the height to which human thought can aspire. I will seek it out as a reference when I am in need of courage or strength or vision." -- Richard G. McLellan, M.D., Diplomate, American board of Emergency Medicine, Long Beach, California

Disappointing rehash of old information, Jun 11 2000
By Rosemary Amey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Experimentation: A Harvest of Shame (Paperback)
As the classic antivivisection books (Cruel Deception, Animal Liberation, etc.) become more and more dated, the need for an up-to-date account of vivisection today is urgently needed. I therefore eagerly ordered this book.I was sorely disappointed to find that Harvest of Shame consists almost entirely of old information recycled from other antivivisectionist books. Furthermore, the style, while poetic and passionate, also rambled quite a bit.
If you want to learn more about vivisection, I'd suggest either the "classics" I mentioned above, or better, for the technically inclined, go to the scientific journals and see for yourself how cruel and pointless modern vivisection really is.

A wonderful reference book, Feb 5 1999
By Linda M. Evans "veganlinda" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Experimentation: A Harvest of Shame (Paperback)
I have been against animal experimentation for a long time, but I found it hard to explain my position to other people. This book is a great reference and you don't have to be a doctor to understand. A Harvest of Shame is a must read for anyone who cares about animals (non-human and human).

Tremendous!, April 17 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Experimentation: A Harvest of Shame (Paperback)
Highly recommended! This is one of the most moving and enlightening books I've ever read. Dr. Fadali is a true hero for taking am extremely unpopular poisition: Vivisection is unethical, and should be abolished. All MDs should read "A Harvest of Shame."
Listmania!
