As per recent reports, it has been claimed that scientists in Britain are still carrying out experiments on a large number of primates year after year for nothing but for the sake of “frivolous” reasons, as it has been claimed today.

In Edinburgh, reports have claimed that marmosets were recurrently force-fed poisonous chemicals for the purpose of analyzing the consequences on the sexual organs of their foetuses, as claimed by a recent report.

In a similar case, it has been found that two anaesthetized monkeys were forced to undue pain in which their skulls were cut open ahead of making them keep their eyes wide open and focused straight on a TV screen for a minimum of five days.

Electrodes were then inserted in the brains of monkeys’ for the sake of testing whether or not the “after image”, the one which seems in prospect following exposure to the unique source has ended, took place in their eyes or brain.

In excess of 2,600 long-tailed macaques, marmosets as well as various other monkeys were employed for the purpose of experiments in the United Kingdom during the last year, as reported by a large number of local newspapers and media channels.

Britain is said to carry out the maximum number of assessments in the European Union, with the majority of them being in lieu of medical science, though campaigners have claimed that almost all of them are done for on-the-surface ends.

During his dialogue in November 2010, Emeritus Prof. David Morton, a bioethicist and vet from Birmingham University, claimed: “Sometimes you cannot use anything other than primates if you want to get good scientific data. For example, you wouldn’t have the polio vaccine if primates had not been used in research”.
