Sherry discusses the philosophical basis of animal rights, presents the pros and cons of their use for research, and includes a graphic description of a human abortion, speculating on the pain the fetus suffers and asking how we can expect people to extend ``personhood'' to other species when those rights are not extended to human embryos.
