Draft Rule 11(3) allows institutional ethics committees to approve mild and moderate experiments
Should labs have final say on experiments conducted within their institutions?

Global science is moving to organ-chips and computational models, but India is regressing into easier animal trials. We need modern innovation, not expanded cages.

India’s proposed overhaul of animal-testing rules could allow more experiments to be approved without central oversight and expand circumstances in which wild, stray and protected animals can be used in research.
The changes “can undermine credibility of scientific research and weaken the ethical safeguards” governing animal experiments, warns @humaneworldorg.
Humane World for Animals says the draft risks moving India in the opposite direction from countries investing in human biology-based research and reducing reliance on animal experiments.

Dismantling central CCSEA oversight to let labs approve their own trials is a dangerous leap backwards
