| Newsweek asks in its August 13th issue whether animals have rights, touched off by the lawsuit over chimpanzee custody that I wrote about previously a little over a month ago.

| Standing Commitee of the Primates Meeting and the Anglican Consultative (a group desperately in need of a shorter nickname) have decamped for the airport. It would have been nice if the House of Bishops had managed to get them something to respond to while they were still in town. I have a vague sense from just a couple of conversations that |

| especially when non-human primates are used. While I don't doubt the importance of animal testing, I do have reservations about the ethics of using non-human primates in medical research. This is not to say that I advocate the acts of terrorism by extremists as related in Mark's posts, but I do have concerns about what is and isn't being done |

| A few years ago, a Korean scientist defrauded the world and scientific community by claiming to have cloned human embryos -- but this week, researchers in Oregon say that they have cloned the embryos of macaque monkeys to derive embryonic stem cells.

The differences between the adult and juvenile are quite striking; the adult skull has a more pronounced brow ridge, smaller incisors compared to the rest of the skull, more prominent canines, and is a bit more prognathus (the jaw |
