Monkeys aren't humans though. It's disgusting, I don't like animal abuse, but it'd not the same thing. And wishing we'd go extinct is hardly the moral high ground here.
Rhesus macaque are way closer to us on any scale between “us” and “animals” hence the reason for them being used in this study.
Yea, reading about "infant monkey eyelid sutures" is pretty depressing...
Which makes reading about how they no longer do that - because they found something better (goggles) - feel the opposite of depressing right?
