Nice people don't want to experiment on Mickey Mouse. Nice people want to tell researchers to be kind to lab rats and mice.
Nice people stand up for their furry friends in the lab.
They don't think about the nice, but sick, human beings who are helped by animal research. Thinking about people gets in the way. This makes it all the more startling that an institution of higher learning, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, has risked playing the villain in order to facilitate life-saving medical research. Add Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's disease, AIDS and breast cancer. Johns Hopkins has gone to court to try to stop a court settlement reached by former President Bill Clinton's Department of Agriculture and animal rights activists.
