To build a statute for experiments with animals, it
is necessary to analyze the articles on the subject
and propose modifications. Along with this, it
is necessary to include some elements that are
still not in the proposal and that are necessary
to build an integral statute, where the necessary
technical aspects and some bioethical elements
that scientists experimenting with animals must
keep in mind. The current regulations are not
enough, this is why the three regulations are
briefly synthesized and changes, adjustments and
elements to include are proposed. The regulations
under discussion are: Estatuto Nacional de
Protección de los Animales (National Statute for
the Protection of Animals, Law 84, 1989); Norma
Científico-Técnica para la Investigación en Salud
(Scientific-technical Regulation for Research on
Health, Resolution 8430, 1993) and Código de
Ética para el Ejercicio Profesional de la Medicina
Veterinaria y Zootecnia (Ethical Code for the
Professional Practice of Veterinary Medicine and
Zootechnical Sciences, Law 576, 2000).
