*Why Chimpanzee-Testing in Medicine Had to End*
by John Pippin, MD

*Synopsis*: The recent decision of the US National Institutes of Health to
end chimpanzee testing and move US chimps to a sanctuary in Texas was based
on good science, says John Pippin, MD and former animal researcher. The
differences between chimpanzees and humans were too great for chimpanzee
experiments to have much value. Consequently, medical funding was being
wasted, treatments were not moving forward, and sometimes patients were
dying.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
