"Dr. Mary's Monkey"

[Adele Edisen]

Yes, I was referring to, I suppose, for lack of a better word, to main stream science. The military are a law unto themselves and in fact it was the military behind the Nazi and Japanese experiment as it was with Paperclip.

And this is the very crux of the problem, as Jan and Magda point out. Can clinical researchers, for example, predict the outcome of drug tests when a participant individual's biochemistry and physiological factors are mostly unknown? If they had this complete knowledge, they could, perhaps safely test new drugs on a given group and determine side effects and toxicity, without life-threatening harm. This why prior extensive animal testing must be done.

Does anyone here know that the first piece of legislation passed by the German Reichstag after Adolf Hitler and his party were ELECTED into power was a law forbidding the use of animals in biomedical research? Scientists all over the world condemned this law. Dr. Anton J. Carlson, "Father of American Physioloigists" vigorously fought against it and against Animal Rightists here in the United States.
