Since ethics has been invented for human society, there is no surprise for being averse to humans. Neither is that good or bad by nature

Yes, it's safe to say that, in all countries, people are more comfortable with animal testing than with human testing.
The quality of results from human testing is many orders of magnitude better; if you're willing to do it, there's no point in doing any animal testing.

1. He refered to countries using humans for testing being a leap
2. Using humans for testing makes no sense bc. animals are exactly used to avoid early testing on humans

What do you believe is the conflict between these two statements?
>> if you're willing to do [human testing], there's no point in doing any animal testing.
> animals are exactly used to avoid early testing on humans
These are two statements of the same idea.
That's... quite the leap. The entire point is that ethics committees are much more averse to human testing than to animal testing, so we're less conscientious about animal testing.
