MONASH UNIVERSITY - PARKINSON'S DISEASE EXPERIMENTS
Sadistic Scientists torture Macques as part of Monash Medical Centre's invalid Parkinson's disease research
- The infamous Parkinson's Disease research is conducted on Monash campus by a research team led by Doctors Horne and Butler (Anatomy Department).
- The monkeys are held in restraint chairs
- Have holes drilled in their skulls and electrodes implanted in their brains
- Eventually killed.
- By the end of 1995, at least 20 monkeys had died as a result of this research. The death toll for 1996 is still unknown, but it is part of the design of the experiment that primates will continue to be incarcerated, tortured and killed.
"The Monash Medical Centre experiments...into human IPD are outdated and based on faulty scientific assumptions, and would therefore produce unreliable results. There is no scientific rationale for these experiments, and the should be terminated."
Murry J Cohen M.D., Co-Chair, The Medical Research Modernization Committee (VA, USA)
Who pays the price for Dr Horne's and Dr Butler's arrogant status-enhancing cruelty?
We, as tax-payers, do by way of Government grants and public donations. But, the ultimate price is exacted from the non-human primates who suffer and die in research which is medically invalid and ethically indefensible.
