Show transcript0:00Could multiple stab wounds mean shorter lives? A new study on primates from the National Institute of Health says it's possible.0:08This is a huge step forward in understanding the short and long-term health effects of repeated stabbing.0:13In the 1.2 million dollar study, a test group of 3,000 monkeys were stabbed between 7 and 9 times each.0:19We used a variety of sharp-edged objects to see if they had any different effects on the monkeys.0:23In the end, we concluded that they did not.0:25Collins says the results were similar with baby monkeys, old monkeys, and pregnant monkeys.0:30Results were steady no matter where the monkeys were punctured, in the stomach, the neck, even the eye sockets.0:35The same was true for every species tested, from yellow-tailed woolly monkeys to squirrel monkeys, the small gray monkeys with tufts of downy fur framing their faces.0:44There was a control group that was not stabbed. This group was merely punched.0:48It didn't matter whether we punched them 2, 300 times, all they experienced was bruising.0:52This tells us that the effects of stab wounds are more physical than psychological.0:57Collins and her team hope to secure funding for future studies on the effects of bludgeoning and boiling.1:03And when we continue here tonight, the Catholic Church officially denounces spooning.
