This film begins with how animals were used in psychological research by looking at Harlow's experiments, where baby rhesus monkeys were isolated in 'the pit of despair'. It explains the current ethical and legal regulation of using animals in research, illustrates how decisions are made, and ends with the question of whether animals should ever be used in research.
