Just this morning I heard on my local radio station:
The Loma Linda Univercity (San Bernadino CA.)
Has succesfully transplanted the heart of a baboon into a 14 day old human
infant.
The baby girl is listed as critical but doing fine.
Sounds good and also a bit scarry at the same time.
Now we may not have to wait for people to die. But who is going to represent
and protect the animals?
Lab testing is bad enough if people die because you couldn't kill an animal
well that will be a subject for another newsgroup and another day.
