Comment 1: I oppose the adoption of the new edition of the guide. The eighth edition contains many unjustified revisions, and appear making many poorly informed assertions. The goal of medical research is to find new treatments for illnesses by scientists based on their best training and knowledge. Deferring judgement on what quality and quantity of new preparations on animal testing from scientists to regulatory bodies for animal care ans welfare is inappropriate.
