Project R&R’s science team, along with other scientists, are investigating the limitations and problems of using chimpanzees as a means of studying human disease and health. They are also looking at the life-long suffering that results for chimpanzees from their use and laboratory confinement.

In the interest of open discussion, we welcome comments. If you have a paper to contribute or questions, contact us.
