THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State University researchers say they need to
damage the spinal cords of rodents to better
understand how to help people recover from spinal
injuries. Animal activists call the experimentation
unnecessary and inhumane.
Without addressing the merits of the experiments, the
Ohio Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the public
should not be able to see them.
Justices unanimously slapped down a legal action by
the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
seeking access to video of the spinalcord experiments
performed on approximately 270 rats and mice each
year.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State University researchers say they need to
damage the spinal cords of rodents to better
understand how to help people recover from spinal
injuries. Animal activists call the experimentation
unnecessary and inhumane.
Without addressing the merits of the experiments, the
Ohio Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the public
should not be able to see them.
Justices unanimously slapped down a legal action by
the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
seeking access to video of the spinalcord experiments
performed on approximately 270 rats and mice each
year.
The video is the intellectual property of the OSU
College of Medicine and under Ohio law can be shared
with other researchers without being made public, the
court ruled.
OSU officials hailed the ruling, saying it protects
the integrity of scientific research. The court is
reassuring scientists that their research won’t be
compromised by releasing preliminary data, especially
in areas of controversial biomedical research, the
university said.
But animal activists and public-records advocates said
the decision denies the public the right to
information about experiments performed at a public
university with their tax dollars.
"We feel that if Ohio State has nothing to hide on
this course, they should release this information to
the public," said Dr. Aysha Akhtar, the physicians
committee’s senior medical research adviser. "This
course is just incredibly inhumane and clinically
irrelevant."
OSU’s three-week Spinal Cord Injury Research
Techniques course includes research on mice and rats
in which researchers drop weights on the rodents’
spinal cords and cut them with scalpels, Akhtar said.
Although the physicians committee has received
descriptions of the experiments from alumni, it wants
videos to document the day-to-day conditions and care
of the animals, she said.
OSU said the experiments are important to show the
effect of spinal injuries at a cellular level. Tests
on rodents don’t raise the same moral and ethical
considerations as experiments on humans, the
university said.
The university remains committed to disclosing the
results of its research but thinks that publicizing
specific research methods would compromise the
integrity of the work, spokesman Earle Holland said.
"What we’re talking about here is not research
results," Holland said. "The field of research has at
its core the public dissemination of research
results."
Ohio State and two other universities received a total
of $8 million from the National Institutes of Health
to learn new research techniques for spinalcord
injuries. The federal Institute of Medicine cited the
OSU program as a national model to help doctors and
scientists help patients recover from spinal injuries,
Holland said.
Dan Kimburn, associate general counsel for the
physicians committee, said the group has not attempted
to compel other universities to release videos of
animal experimentation.
