This is not the slamdunk you think it is. If you could ensure the human population lived to exactly 70 years old and didn't suffer during that time, there is a very fair argument it would be a moral imperative to implement this social order since it would be a massive improvement over the current state of world affairs.

Scale down that number to find where you think the line is.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly: are you saying that animal experiments would be ethical if they removed all suffering for humans?
