We argue that many of the crises currently afflicting science can be associated with a present failure of science to sufficiently embody its own values. Here, we propose a response beyond mere crisis resolution based on the observation that an ethical framework of flourishing derived from the Buddhist tradition aligns surprisingly well with the values of science itself. This alignment, we argue, suggests a recasting of science from a competitively managed activity of knowledge production to a collaboratively organized moral practice that puts kindness and sharing at its core.

Article Synopsis
  • The 3Rs principle (replace, reduce, refine) promotes ethical use of animals in research and is supported by various international and national regulations.
  • Despite its widespread adoption, the effectiveness of the 3Rs is being questioned due to advancements in research and evolving societal views on animal treatment.
  • The paper aims to explore if the 3Rs can still effectively guide animal use in research by addressing scientific needs, facilitating existing methods, and evaluating its ethical framework in light of growing animal welfare concerns.
