Transplant experiments
Sir, — Having received a complacent reply from R. J. White, neurologist at Cleveland Medical Hospital, Ohio, that it is “far more just and moral to develop operative procedures on animals . . .
than it is to do these procedures for the first time on humans . . .”, I have sent a second letter questioning his code of ethics. Are readers aware that thfc “doctor” for whom he wished to obtain commendation for his “re-
search,” cut open, and extracted the heart of a baby baboon without any anaesthesia for one of his many transplants? While so many apathetic humans say nothing and do nothing about what is going on behind the closed doors of “scientific research”, I will continue to expose what is perpetrated c' the thousands of animals put to such senseless experimentations. Alternative humane methods are coming to light by Lord Dowding’s beliefs. Scientists who work under mediaeval influences are most assuredly back in the dark ages. — Yours, etc NATALIE TAYLOR. August 78, 1979.
