Vivisection
'Vivisection' is a collection of essays written by Albert Tracy Leffingwell. The topic discussed in this essay is one Leffingwell holds dear: vivisection form. Throughout his life, Leffingwell, who was a physician, authored many books bringing light to the cruel abuses of animal experimentation and calling for regulation. At the same time, he sought a middle ground between the anti-vivisection societies, which called for the abolition of all experimentation and those who rejected any restraints.
An Ethical Problem
Dr. Albert Leffingwell (1845-1916) was a physician, social reformer, and vocal advocate for vivisection reform. He authored many books bringing light to the cruel abuses of animal experimentation and calling for regulation. At the same time he sought middle ground between the antivivisection societies which called for the abolition of all experimentation and those who rejected any restraints. Leffingwell also was concerned with meat safety, believing that lax regulations, in particular allowing cancerous animals into the food chain, were responsible for increases in the incidence of cancer. He also served as the president of the American Humane Association. Leffingwell was the author of An Ethical Problem (1914).

Animal Ethics and Animal Law
Animal law is a growing discipline, as is animal ethics. In this wide-ranging book, scholars from around the world address the intersections between the two. Specifically, this collection focuses on pressing moral issues and how law can protect animals from cruelty and abuse. A project of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, the book is edited by the Oxford Centre’s directors, Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey, and features contributions from many of its fellows. Divided into three sections, the work explores historical perspectives and ethical–legal issues such as “personhood” and “property” before focusing on five practical case studies. The volume introduces readers to the interweaving between these subjects and should act as a spur to further interdisciplinary work.
An Ethical Problem
"An Ethical Problem..." is a book by the late President of the American Humane Association and a Medical doctor Albert Leffingwell on the subject of scientific experimentation on both humans and animals. Taking aim at the practice of vivisection in secrecy and without legal regulation, common in the time of his writing the book, he opines that, "The position taken by the writer of this volume should be clearly understood. It is not the view known as antivivisection, so far as this means the condemnation without exception of all phases of biological investigation. There are methods of research which involve no animal suffering, and which are of scientific utility...An ethical problem exists. It concerns not the prevention of all experimentation upon animals, but rather the abolition of its cruelty, its secrecy, its abuse"

Measuring Immorality
Why do conservative politicians and scholars in Britain, Australia and the United States continue to view rising rates of out-of-wedlock births and teenage pregnancies as a threat to civilised society? This book examines the process by which social science transforms a biological event - a birth - into a social and moral problem. Drawing on Foucault's 'archaeology of knowledge', Reekie stresses the role of statistics and other social-scientific discourses in the emergence of the illegitimacy 'problem' in the early nineteenth century and its continuing cultural significance. The book illustrates the continuity in concerns about illegitimacy, including pressure on the welfare system, fears of racial and intellectual denigration, the detrimental nature of fatherless families, and the association of rising illegitimacy with the supposed selfishness of excessively independent women.
