Journal Article
Will Hong Kong ever have an ethical research system?
2020
Overview
Hong Kong universities have animal ethics committees but standards of ethical review among the various committees are highly variable in their effectiveness. Since 1999, the DoH has become incrementally more proactive as pressure has been applied by stakeholders in animal welfare. [...]my recent personal experience has revealed that self-regulated ethics committees still lack effectiveness because I have observed unacceptable experimental techniques, for example, failure to use analgesia, failure to reduce animal numbers or consider replacements to animal models and numerous non-compliance issues by researchers with their DoH licences and ethics committee conditions. Self-regulation alone is inadequate. ◾ No pressure is exerted from stakeholders (eg, funders and publishers) on researchers to comply with international standards for the ethical use of animals in research. ◾ There is no commitment from senior levels of university management to ensure researchers adhere to the highest ethical standards when using animals in research. ◾ And that there is no effective animal ethical review process.
