And let people suffer for decades with much slower advancement in drug making and therapy development?

Perhaps you can sell it to patients and their families first before agitating it in the public sphere.

I guess I don’t understand why it is considered morally acceptable to torture countless animals for the benefit of humanity.

I understand it from a purely utilitarian standpoint, but it doesn’t sit well with me ethically.

I wouldn’t want an advanced alien species to enslave and torture me at their own benefit.
