• Resumen

  • The article looks at the use of chimpanzees in U.S. biomedical research, arguing that invasive research conducted on chimps should be stopped or stricter guidelines should be made. The authors examine studies which show that chimps can exhibit depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and suggest that computer modeling and isolated cells could replace chimps. The Animal Welfare Act, the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act, and research by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) are discussed.
