After doctors determined that AZT could block the transmission of HIV to the fetus in some pregnant women, researchers wondered if they could make the therapy more effective. They decided to start by studying how a similar virus is transmitted from pregnant monkeys to their offspring. But animal-rights activists halted that experiment...
