Zebra Fish = Guinea Pigs?!?

Summary: In California scientists have been studying the human immune system, and discovered immunity cells found in mammels, in zebra fish. This discovery can lead to improvements in the immune system, for mammels, since the cells are basically the same but the species is different. Suprisingly enough this has not been documented before. The Zebra Fish is translucent, or see through, making this discovery easier.

Opinion: I think it is kind of wierd that first scientists think we come from monkeys and now suddenly our immunity cells are found in a see through fish. Now they are probably going to experiment on all the Zebra Fish and the species is going to disappear. Then science will never know.
