Abstract
Chimbrids pose a special challenge for ethics (as well as legal regulation) since the majority of our traditional moral convictions, ethical principles, ethical theories and regulatory frameworks presuppose that there is a moral difference between the ways we may treat animals in comparison to human beings. In addition, research involving chimbrids is very diverse, which frequently makes it difficult to judge how realistic the research aims are, how necessary the research is, how realistic it is to expect therapeutic outcomes and what the risks involved might be.
