Much of this article is a straightforward copy from the two links given in the Sources section. Have we obtained permission from the Pasteur Institute, or is this supposed to be fair use? AxelBoldt 04:01, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I have adapted, extended and illustrated the content and I am not claiming original authorship, either. The pages you cited have not copyright indications on them, so we naturally assume they are fair use or governmental public domain. Rsabbatini, 28 Feb 2005.
 * Anything that doesn't carry a copyright notice (except US Government publications) is automatically protected. Also, if you don't claim to be the original author, then you can't really release the material under the GFDL. AxelBoldt 16:18, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * OK. I will contact them to assure authorization. How it can be displayed? Rsabbatini, 28 Feb 2005.
 * If you get permission, you can simply state so here, that would be sufficient. If they don't give permission, you'd have to rephrase the information a bit. Cheers, AxelBoldt 18:58, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Institut Pasteur secret activities linked to Soviet Union:

At the end of the 1920ies, "soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered his scientists to cross humans with apes to create an invincible breed of red army soldiers....Scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov's archived reports show the Pasteur institute in Paris let him use a research station in Guinea, West Africa, for ape-breeding research. And he wrote to the politburo:"The biggest problem is to catch living females"...Ivanov reported that african women had been seized to be impregnated with ape sperm, but no pregnancy resulted..." (from Jerome Starkey, "The Sun" tuesday, december 20, 2005, p.15)
