I'm sorry but, It really feels awful reading this comment, downplaying the horrific pain a torture these monkeys went through just to have some failed technology that did nothing for them.. we did not even get good results from the test because a majority of the monkeys died from their complications... that's is awful... most animals when ethical implications are considered for testing, don't end up with majority of the subjects dying from terrible, preventable outcomes....

I agree here. Hope my comment didn’t downplay the severity of this. It is horrible and the investigation needs to continue. But I stand by saying the headline makes it sound like a Saw movie.

That being said, I hope the whole thing gets shut down at this point. It sounds like vapourware. Like full self driving I’m sure it all just works. Just wait 2 more months and they’ll release it. Yeah. Right.
