Monkeys help quadriplegics and others with limited mobility by getting
drinks, picking up mouth sticks and retrieving other objects as
requested.  It's very expensive to have human on hand for 24 hrs per
day.  The monkey can provide simple services with otu a human caregiver
bein there all the time.
