Over at Science there's a short news piece about substituting testing on human embryonic stem cells for animal testing in toxicology. (Link requires a subscription.) The idea is getting support in Europe, where animal rights consciousness is higher than here.
A woman we knew at Texas Tech was doing her research on monkey neural stem cells, because she thought this was a more moral alternative to working with human embryonic tissue. I always thought this was exactly backwards.
