Comment 1: The new guide (Eighth edition) should NOT be approved. It contains instances of over-regulation that will impede reasonable research. For example, stipulations regarding the use of pharmaceutical grade drugs in all cases are unworkable, burdensome in its requirements for approval of use of "non-pharmaceutical" drugs, and will end up significantly impeding research. Many changes, though well-intentioned, are very poorly thought out as to their consequences. Comment 2: This seems to be, in accord with a number of other changes proposed for the Guide, unnecessarily burdensome.
