In a particular field, this has led to a situation in which the findings from animal experiments are considered to be absolutely decisive for human beings as well. No matter how clear it may be that all kinds of theoretical objections have to be raised, what is gained in terms of biological truths from animal experiments is considered to be absolutely binding for human beings as well. In the fundamentals of therapy, what is gained from animal experiments is regarded as decisive, in a certain sense, for what is then to be recognized in man. Especially in this field, it is quite clear how, by believing that one is getting close to the animal organization, one supposes that one can also get close to the human organization, only by a certain modification of the results.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"12.

Man betrachtet in den Grundlagen der Therapie das, was man durch das Tierexperiment gewinnt, als das Ausschlaggebende in einem gewissen Sinne auch für dasjenige, was man dann im Menschen anerkennen will.
