AR-News: (UK) Scientist threatens to quit over animal experiments

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

The scientist said the leak threatened to make his position at the MRC 
untenable.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It has nothing to do with whether I 
particularly deserve an honour - that is neither here nor there.
"The mission statement of the medical research organisation which I now run 
includes a specific commitment to engaging with the public on issues in medical 
research.
"How can I now, in the present circumstances, go to MRC scientists and ask 
them to take the risk of being willing to talk about animal experimentation with 
this indication that doing so will reduce their standing and their reputation 
in the eyes of the government?"
