The thing is, the overwhelming majority of animal testing is not for saving grandma. It's for testing a new brand of makeup.

I'd rather a thousand cute bunnies go blind (or worse) than one woman's eyesight be harmed by dangerous makeup.

Is it okay to not get everything we want?
We have limited resources, especially if your care about humanity (or life in general) continuing on for awhile. I for one enjoy thinking about life thousands, millions of years hence, understanding and accepting that this book will probably close.

On that I can easily disagree. I'd rather we all say: "this makeup cannot be guaranteed to be safe- either outlaw it, skip it, or take your chances" and keep the bunnies alive and unharmed.
It's the medical breakthroughs where I get uncertain. Cosmetics be damned.

> keep the bunnies alive
Sounds nice, but in the real life those lab bunnies wouldn't even have been breed so they aren't alive in fact

If this sounds familiar to you is because is a classic Not true scotsman's fallacy.
