What incredibly creepy experiments. Makes you glad we have ethics committees these days.
When the public hears about these cases it serves as a rallying cry for the animal rights movement and makes it harder for everyone doing animal research, even those who aren't torturing monkeys because they're emotionally disturbed.
Human progress without ethics and compassion is no progress at all.
Our species is a virus, and we do whatever we can to protect our own kind until there is nothing else left.
"...The United States withdrew from compulsory jurisdiction in 1986, and so accepts the court's jurisdiction only on a case-to-case basis."
