You act as if there's a superior breed of humans who have all the answers at their fingertips but are too busy fiddling with mice. There's not. They're using mice as tools to further their base of knowledge which is not a ****ing argument, it's a ****ing fact. Science isn't math, there's not a set amount of numbers in the game. Every year thousands of completely new variables are discovered and the vast majority of them are discovered through experiments. One day the knowledge gained from those experiments might be found to be applicable to human problems. And if they are you can rest assured that companies will be jumping the opportunity to be the first to market it. Propecia and Rogaine may sell, but if there was a better treatment that gave us a full head of hair back without any devastating side effects it would probably be the most profitable treatment in the world. Everybody who sees a shot at being the one that puts it on the market will take it.
To suggest humans should be used at an earlier stage than they are is a sign of either ignorance or apathy. If laws allowed humans to be used as labrats do you think only willing, well-to-do people would be used? Because that's just not going to be the case. Big pharmaceuticals would target the poor and the homeless, any and all who need a little money would be asked to pull up one sleeve or swallow a pill and many of them would do it without knowing what the outcome would be. That is why I compare it to Mengele's experiments. It might not be as vile but it is still inhumane to allow it.
