This is extraordinarily dangerous and will slow academic biomedical research and drug development. A total ban is on the horizon. www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

Uh, what are the alternatives? HeLa cells?

Seems like a nothing burger. No more grants just to make/study animal models. Ok, it's 2025. So new animal models should of course be compared to other assays, which is all that seems to be required. Also, why does this threaten CROs? We've got plenty to panic about. This isn't one of them.

What if researchers experiment on dead whales strapped to the roof of a car?

Increased funding for tissue engineering and computational work seems warranted, with a long term goal of reduction. But banning the best experimental system we have is a mess. Have they read a vertebrate animal section?

This is a good thing. Animals don't deserve to be tortured to death & then dissected for profits.
