Icord Means More Animals And People Will Suffer

November 18, 2008
NEWS RELEASE
Re: ICORD means more animals and people will suffer
One of the “Themes” of the researchers in the new ICORD building will be to create new animal models of spinal cord injuries (see Theme 3 below). This will mean more suffering to animals that are intentionally inflicted with spinal cord injuries. The often misleading results from animal models could actually harm people. The use of such animal models is a waste of scarce health care funds.

Please read the UBC ICORD Group Research Themes

Please watch the Lifeforce Broken Promises video. Popular species are rats and cats.

These spinal cord experiments continue today.
