ESEC The Ethical Science and Education Coalition (ESEC) was founded in 1991 to facilitate the implementation of student "choice" policies in elementary and secondary schools. These policies protect students from academic penalty when they do not wish to participate in specimen dissection labs. ESEC’s current mission as the educational affiliate of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society, is to replace the harmful use of animals at all levels of education and professional training.
