I don't understand how the FDA could have given approval for human trials, after what happened to those monkeys. I thought that the FDA was quite stringent about these things.
Aren't there published guidelines for what constitutes too much discomfort/pain for animal testing? Rules?
What happened to the monkeys is secondary to Elon not understanding why and what would happen to them: He publicly stated the monkeys were terminally ill. They were not. That's not how anything works. If you don't grok that, you should be nowhere near decision making about animal testing.
