Your terrible spelling and lack of perspective offends me far more than the thought that we might be using a monkey to further our understanding of the human body and brain enough to allow people to walk again. As somebody who probably is not crippled, and doesn't have any family members who cannot walk you would doubtless not see what the point is. Far from being a raw resource this monkey's life has been documented in extraordinary detail, and will benefit the human race, which is more than can be said for you and your kind. The scientists carrying out these experiments exercise the utmost care and respect at all times when dealing with live specimens and have a great respect for life, minimising the pain which their subject feels where possible. To portay their fantastic work as being barbaric and analygous to mutilation, 'muder' and 'toture' beggars belief and considers only your emotion reaction and not the consequences of their actions.

If you disagree that strongly, invent an artificial brain and nerves and then we won't need to do animal neuroscience experiments anymore. You won't or can't do that because your only instinct is to hinder humanity.

Human's put humans first. Monkey's put monkeys first, so I guess that makes you a monkey.

"There are no closed systems.

Degrading life in one area makes it only more likely in another. Changing society in an immoral heap, where medical discoveries become meaningless."

Apologies for the terrible spelling.

You don't know me or my kind.
I'am a human being not a naked ape. Which you as a true darwinian probably believe.
Subject = raw material.
Repect and "minimising pain to a subject" are like water and oil. They can't be in same place.
The consequences you are talking about are sciencefiction. The present consequences of their actions are animals in pain.
There will never be an artificial brain. The complexity of the brain is forever beyond humans technological capabilities to recreate.
Like attracts like. To toture and slaughter animals for medical research for some future "relieving" of human suffering, ultimately creates greater human suffering. Suffering which hinders humanity in all it's systems.

B.d.w. I want to thank you for proving my point.

repect = respect = an acknowledgement of the uniqueness of each individual and each species.
