Psychology Values: Experimenting on Animals

I love it when we talk about something in class and then it shows up in the news!  That just happened yesterday when I stumbled upon an article discussing psychological studies being conducted on animals.

The article discusses how PETA is upset about how the monkeys are being treated and compare it to child abuse.  On the other hand, the NIH is stating that the information that they are gathering is providing important insight into human behavior.

I hope that you will take a few minutes to read the article and share your thoughts here.  Do you think that the studies that are taking place will benefit humans and improve our lives or do you think that the way that the monkeys are being treated negates any benefit that the studies might provide?
