Right, and the editorial goes into how, if the US doesn't decide to stop testing on chimps they should at the very least do more to protect chimps from being held that way.

But they also, I assume, think the testing itself is morally troubling. It isn't as if being given diseases and possible cures is a pain free process- at least it doesn't seem to be and it isn't obvious how you could make it one. That's all I meant by "Both?".
