Vivisection, the practice of conducting surgical operations on live animals for research purposes, is primarily driven by the need to understand biological processes and test the safety and efficacy of drugs and treatments. This practice is often justified by the potential benefits for human and veterinary medicine. Ethical considerations and animal welfare concerns have led to significant debate and regulation regarding vivisection, pushing for alternatives that reduce or replace animal use in research. Advances in technology, such as in vitro testing and computer modeling, aim to mitigate the reliance on vivisection.

Vivisection and animal testing are related but not identical concepts. Vivisection specifically refers to the practice of performing surgery or invasive procedures on live animals for research purposes, often to study physiological processes. Animal testing, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of experiments conducted on animals, including non-invasive tests for assessing safety, efficacy, and toxicity of products. While all vivisection is a form of animal testing, not all animal testing involves vivisection.
