Detailed Information:
Scientists¹ have proposed criteria that should be met before an animal is capable of pain perception:
the animal should have the apparatus to detect and process pain
pain should result in adverse changes in behaviour and physiology
analgesics (pain killers) should reduce these responses
the animal should learn to avoid the stimulus that caused pain
Accounts of research in these pages meet these standards.
