The crucial role of animal models in biomedical research calls for philosophical investigation of how and whether knowledge about human diseases can be gained by studying other species. This Element delves into the selection and construction of animal models to serve as preclinical substitutes for human patients. It explores the multifaceted roles animal models fulfil in translational research and how the boundaries between humans and animals are negotiated in this process. The book also covers persistent translational challenges that have sparked debates across scientific, philosophical, and public arenas regarding the limitations and future of animal models. Among the are persistent tensions between standardization and variation in medicine, as well as between strategies aiming to reduce and recapitulate biological complexity. Finally, the book examines the prospects of replacing animal models with animal-free methods. The Element demonstrates why animal modeling should be of interest to philosophers, social scientists, and scientists alike.

Organoids for Personalised Cancer Medicine
A Vision Assessment of an Emerging Health Technology

This open access book builds on and updates work performed in the HYBRIDA project, funded by the EU to develop an ethical framework for organoid research. Organoids are three-dimensional stem cell constructs that mimic organs of the body or tumours. Patient-derived organoids are envisioned to be grown from individual patients’ tumours and used to tailor the most effective and safest treatments in a new form of personalized medicine. This text offers a critical assessment of this vision from the perspective of philosophy of medicine. The authors present a tailored “vision assessment”, presented as examples of methodological development, and applied to objects. They first analyse and describe the vision of using organoids for personalized cancer medicine, then critically evaluate this vision and finally comment on ethical implications of the epistemological issues and how to handle them. The authors further draw on sources for empirical inquiries. This book presents an exercise in health technology assessment conducted by philosophers. Its core readership are philosophers of medicine and bioethicists interested in personalized medicine and stem cell research.
