Abstract
The on tological personalist bioethics model based on virtue, with the principles of ontological personalism and the
Aristotelian virtues, is adequate for experimenting with animals as this is an activity performed by human beings in
order to take care, prevent, cure and make research on animals, and those animals cannot decide if something is
wrong or right by themselves and for themselves. Humans -as moral subjects that act and decide freely and ethica-
lly- must rationally choose the actions to be performed on the animals used in experiments. This paper introduces
this bioethical model that contains: three principles of ontological personalism, which are the principle of defending
physical life, the principle of freedom and responsibility and the principle of solidarity and subsidiarity; five Aristo-
telian virtues such as continence, justice, téchne, prudence and wisdom, and the three “R´s“, principles universally
used in experiments with animals, specified in the reducing, refining and replacing concepts.
