Bateson's cube

Bateson's cube

Bateson's cube is a model of the cost-benefit analysis for animal research developed by Professor Patrick Bateson, president of the Zoological Society of London.

Bateson's cube evaluates proposed research through three criteria:

* the degree of animal suffering,

* the quality of the research,

* the potential medical benefit.

Bateson suggested that research that does not meet these requirements should not be approved or performed, in accordance with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986.
