RE: RE: RE: RE: Error1) No I have not spoken to the company as I have only found this information over the weekend. I have been battling myself as to whether or not this should be reported to both the company and regulatory officials. Companies are not allowed to release statements that are misleading as this one has been. The problem... I'm not sure what good would come of this. I am also not sure if Gap should release a statement clarifying this because it may confuse shareholders who don't know what is going on even more. Thoughts anyone?
2)The screen test at NCI was at the second highest dose... I do not know what dose they gave the mice but that would be irrelevant if the following statement is believed..
The most significant trend in modern research in recent years has been the recognition that animals are rarely good models for the human body. Studies have shown time and again that researchers are often wasting lives, both animal and human, and precious resources by trying to infect animals with diseases that they would never normally contract. As Dr. Richard Klausner of the National Cancer Institute admitted, "The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse. We have cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn't work in humans."
The world's most forward-thinking scientists have accepted this and moved on to other methods of studying disease. The National Cancer Institute now uses human cancer cells, taken by biopsy during surgery, to perform first-stage testing for its new anti-cancer drugs, sparing the million mice it used to use every year and giving us a much better shot at combating cancer.
