Is it just me or are the news lately really not nice? Less free internet, funding cuts for science (including NASA and this example), the economy is worse than it used to be (as far as I remember), general mental health of the population is tanking,almost every aspect of usual life is being exploited by apps for micropayments, wealth gap grows, I come gap, well, grows too, but everything is impossibly expensive for every class.. are we going into the "great recession" version of the dark ages? I mean, it's not it right? But I have to agree, I do feel bad for the animals, but as someone who has participated in certain academic activities I am convinced that the scrutiny that the ethical committees have put the research through for this should ensure more than enough reasons for this research. Also. What happens with the monkeys? Do they send them to the zoo? I don't think so
