Best wishes to the Nonhuman Rights Project (and to you)! I think you will also like this article: New Paper Calls for Rights for Chimpanzees in Laboratories [pcrm.org] "WASHINGTON—Chimpanzees used in experimentation should be regarded as “vulnerable subjects” in the same way that children are now, according to a new paper published in the journal Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics... "Under the guidelines, experimenters could no longer use chimpanzees without the approval of a caretaker whose sole consideration is the welfare of the chimpanzee, which would likely limit experiments to those that could benefit the individual chimpanzee. _______________________________________________________________________ By law, "vulnerable subjects" - like children and the mentally challenged - have special protection from potentially harmful research, because they aren't fully capable of providing informed consent. PCRM is working to protect all animals - not just chimpanzees - from animal research. Another approach has been to promote the use of updated research technology, and this has been very successful in medical schools around the country.
