PETA might be the most known animal welfare-related organization, but they aren't really worthy to be a drop-in replacement for the generic term.

Also, allegedly, China experiments on humans. Human rights organizations probably wouldn't be happy to see the resulting scientific papers.

Maybe human brains would work in China. But that'd be pushing the envelope.

In Hannu Rajaniemi's Flower Prince trilogy, he posits that the minds of billions of people will get uploaded, and that all but a few rich ones will end up as slaves. Basically apps.
