DESCRIPTION:The Darwinian postulate\, that all animals are evolutionarily 
 related\, has been massively supported by\ngenetic and other biological ex
 periments over the past several decades showing the conservation\nof gene 
 structure and some functions in even distantly related species. This opens
  opportunities\nfor improving the quality of animal models of human biolog
 y\, for the purpose of biomedical research.\nSome of the expermaints that 
 may become possible in the foreseeable future\, raise ethical issues\nthat
  require vigilance from the scientific community and from research regulat
 ors. These topics were\nrecently summarised in a report from the Academy o
 f Medical Sciences ( http://www.acmedsci.ac.uk/\np99puid222.html )
