I figure she spent so much time pretending she is a monkey that her brains are now more Chimpanzee then human. Certainly her compassion for human suffering doesn't cause her the grief that animal suffering does or she wouldn't be pushing this donkey cart.

Goodall urges Nobel prize for sparing lab animals

The primatologist Dr Jane Goodall will today propose that a Nobel
prize be set up for advancing medical knowledge without
experimentation on animals. The scientist, who pioneered research on
chimpanzees in the wild, says moving away from animal research is a
"goal towards which all civilised nations should be moving".

She will speak at an event organised by animal rights groups and MEPs
to put pressure on the European commission to review directive 86/609,
which governs animal research across the EU.

"As we move into the 21st century we need a new mind-set," she said.
"We should admit that the infliction of suffering on beings who are
capable of feeling is ethically problematic and that the amazing human
brain should set to work to find new ways of testing and experimenting
that will not involve the use of live, sentient beings.

"The scientific establishment should actively encourage such research.
More funding should be made available for it. And rewards - such as a
Nobel prize - should be given for it."

She will also advocate a centre of excellence to develop alternatives
to animal research. About 12m animals were used in experiments in
2005. The vast majority were mice and rats.

Goodall's suggestion of a Nobel prize looks unlikely to succeed. Only
one has been added - the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1968 -
since the scientific accolades were first awarded in 1901. About 15
years ago the former US vice-president Al Gore approached the Nobel
Foundation to suggest an award for contributions to environmentalism.
Michael Sohlman, president of the foundation, said the organisation
politely turned him down. Adding a prize for alternatives to animal
testing was "out of the question", Sohlman said.

Scientists argue that research using animals has contributed to
advances in many fields including antibiotics, anaesthetics, vaccines,
insulin for diabetes, open heart surgery, kidney dialysis and
transplants. They say that animal research is highly regulated in the
UK, with both the lab where research is carried out and the specific
project needing a licence from the Home Office. They also point out
that the high cost of animal testing is a strong incentive for
researchers to use alternatives where possible.

But Green MEP Caroline Lucas said alternatives were not being
developed fast enough. "What we want to see in there very clearly is a
strategy that will move us away from animal experiments and include
more up to date, effective alternatives," she said, "What we need is
far more resources put into developing them and getting them on to the
market."

Just today on the news was a monkey that had electrodes implanted in his brain. He was able to feed himself a marshmellow or something with a robotic arm based on thought waves. Bet if good old Jane was paralyzed she would think twice about being able to walk again with this technology.

Anthropomorphism predisposes an individual to develop terminal, cranial-rectal inversion, compounded by massive brain neuroma infestation. It's a disease indigenous to the animal rights cult colonists.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Johnathan.

Beyond any shadow of a doudt. She and all her buddies are a lost cause. I guess the next step is for us to revert back to the stone age.

I don't know about adding a Nobel prize for such a feat, but why not try to cut back on animal testing? It's expensive. I'm not saying eliminate it, but why not try to find other ways to avoid it when possible?

How a company tests a product is none of my concern, so long as it isn't being tested on me or mine without my knowledge.

I won't tell the drug companies how to test their products, if they won't tell me how to trap animals.

Jonathan,my thoughts exactly,thanks for the ink.Simplified does that mean,---optical rectolietis,

Coyote, I used the term "brain neuroma" as a metaphor for tumorous hemorrhoids on the brain. A neuroma is a tumor related to the nervous system.

I don't think they do it for fun. Consider this.....sometimes things don't work out as planned or initially conceived. There are unforseen consequences. If the first time these manifest is on people, then essentially you've replaced lab animals with people.

I once heard, "If hooking a monkeys brain to a car battery, will save someone from dying someday, I have only two things to say.

The red is positive, the black is negative.

No. Ko- Ko , Is what I drinks every morning at breakfast! AHwooooooo.

Mira, Very well articulated!

Jonathan

Yeah sure, skip the animal testing...go straight to humans. As I recall Hitler did this, but some found it socially unacceptable.

While I agree with the above diagnosis, I also feel that perhaps a better description of the AR condition would be Faecal Encephalopathy.
