I wonder how "fresh" they have to be. I think many are being studied for abnormalities. I don't know how much can be learned when they are dead. I am sure that somebody is looking for a way to transplant one. There are urban legends that describe the effort of putting a human brain into the body of a chimpanzee. The idea for this is that it would be the perfect size for something you would want to do long term space travel.
