Wow. Transplanting the hearts of endangered chimpanzees for the benefits of humans is crazy. I was very confused by this last passage. Are the animals already deceased or are they killing the chimps in the name of the well being of humans. Im kind of torn with this subject of organ transplants and the protection of animals. I love all animals and I’m a very strong believer of not using animals for science and other things that will harm them. But I strongly believe in transplants and promoting organ donations. My dad received a kidney transplant this past April and has been getting better ever since, we have been waiting for about six years for him to get a kidney.

When it comes to this, I like to think of who is going to benefit more. The chimpanzee (who it is not discussed if they are dying or going to be killed) or the human who has a family to take care of. If people are purposely killing the chimps to take their organs for humans, then 1: that is the most disgusting thing i have ever heard of and 2: you better have a plan B. Besides, doesn’t the heart have to be immediately removed from the body after death? So that might mean they are murdering chimps for the well-being of humans. Humans are apart of the animal kingdom and I do believe in the Theory of Social Darwinism by Charles Darwin but this passage needs to be more clear. How are they collecting the organs???
