Comment 1: This seems like a reasonable plan given the flawed process that led to the new 8th Edition. There are many problems with this Guide and some changes and new or renewed rules are without scientific or even empirical merit. The list of persons and organizations that were prohibited form serving on the Guide's revision committee gives reason for pause. The new edition is going to cause more confusion and cost than it is going to increase animal and human well being. The animal rights movement must be quite pleased. Finally what alternative does PHS have to accepting the 8th Edition?
