Thirty-seven chimpanzees languishing at a New Mexico primate laboratory are still waiting for the National Institutes of Health to fulfil a promise it made in 2015---to retire them to sanctuary after a lifetime spent in research. Today, we’re giving these animals a helping hand by suing the federal agency, which has shamelessly reneged on this promise.

Chimpanzees have been used for decades in biomedical research and testing. Because they share more than 98% of their DNA with humans, they have been considered an “ideal” research subject, one that can be used to stand in for human subjects in experiments that would not be ethical to conduct on humans.

Chimpanzees have been used in biomedical research to gain an understanding of various diseases that result in substantial morbidity and mortality.
Chimpanzees have been used in biomedical research to gain an understanding of various diseases that result in substantial morbidity and mortality. The value of chimpanzees in studies designed to make it possible to prevent or treat diseases is due in large part to their genetic similarity to humans. In the case of some infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B, chimpanzees are the only nonhuman species that can be infected with the causative microorganism. Furthermore, some important therapies for diseases not caused by microorganisms have been developed only because they were evaluated in chimpanzees when other species proved to be unsuitable or provided suboptimal results. Because situations like these are likely to arise in the future, chimpanzees should continue to be available for research protocols that benefit human health and well-being. Furthermore, the possibility of a national emergency due to a new infectious agent that presents a major hazard to human health and for which no obvious prophylaxis or therapy is available is a compelling reason to maintain a population of chimpanzees for biomedical research.
