Thanks for sharing the news.
They are wrong that they need animals for experiments though. Some scientists already disagree.
and you wonder what kind of gap there is in the braintrust when you read this quote from the article
"
The university's veterinarian also noted that the conditions under which pigs had been treated - including being anesthetized while trainees operated on them and killed before regaining consciousness - were far more humane that those of hogs slaughtered for meat."
Wow! Now that's a comparison. Compare training doctors to a slaughterhouse....hmmmmmm. Such intellectual vigour!
