Computer models can only be relia ble if accurate information gleaned from animal research is used to build the models in the first place. Furthermore, even the most powerful supercomputers are unable to accurately simulate the workings of complex organs such as the brain.

Chimpanzees sh are 99% of their DNA with humans, and mice are 98% genetically similar to humans.
