In this experiment particularly, yes, but I would bet the original comment was referring to "The new technique could unlock possibilities for using cloned primates in drug testing and behavioural research." I was asking why using cloned primates for testing is better or worse than using naturally created monkeys. The research could be potentially better (more consistent results), but are the monkeys suffering less or more? Not clear to me.
- timschmidt 3y agoMore consistent results are great, so long as they're representative of the whole, which becomes decreasingly likely as the group of test subjects approaches a monoculture.
