                I believe they use MPTP, which was supposed to be a synthetic heroin to induce parkinsons. It came out initally as a street replacement/substitute for heroin but no one knew the actual consequences.

                Information about MPTP including basics, effects, dosage, history, legal status, photos, research, media coverage, and links to other resources.

                  ^^^^ well, then it's even worse. You make poor little monkeys "shake and tremble" just to cure them later...

                    Thats the way medical testing has been done for centuries, its nothing new. Are you some PETA activist or something? I am all for animal rights, to a certain extent, and sure it does seem wrong to a certain degree. But if there was any other way to test drugs like this then medical science would adapt.

                    The fact is there is no other way. So that fact remains, humans regard themselves as the supreme lifeforms on this planet, and rightfully so. And thus, they will always be willing to kill a few monkeys, and torture a few more in order to cure something threatening our lives, even if it seems unethical, which it is to a certain extent.

                      That's how animal experiments work...you know, I really find it horrific that we're treating those animals like that, but then again: look at what it has brought us so far....most of the medicines we take have been tested on animals before they were released for human use.
