okay. the next major cure or vaccine could come as a result of research that involves monkeys. uc davis has 6,000. >> high-tech science could produce the same even better results without having to hurt a single monkey. >> guys, good morning. when it comes to monkeys, their striking similarities to humans are what makes them prime candidates for testing. critics call the experiments outdated, bar baker, and sometimes deadly. nationwide, research labs house more than 100,000 primates. at least 25,000 are used for experiments that can cause pain or distress. 740 are never given any form of pain medication. that could interfere with the research. critics of the testing point to alternatives like this out of uc berkeley where scientists created real living beating new heart tissue. it is all connected to a

computer and could be used to test the impact of drugs in humans. despite that kind of progress, supporters say science still hasn't advanced enough to completely do away with the need for research monkeys. you can logon to your website to find out about every primate research center in the country, how many primates they have, and and violations they have racked up. it's worth checking out. if you have a tip, call us at 888-996-tips. or send an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. stop and take a look at this. the toddler was standing on the counter when he lost his
