So in your scenario, it’s reasonable to subject monkeys to suffering in order to test new anti-histamines that humans have decided they don’t care about enough

So in your scenario, it’s reasonable to subject monkeys to suffering in order to test new anti-histamines that humans have decided they don’t care about enough to test?
If we can deliver a potential 1% improvement to the effectiveness of anti-histamines but it requires a dozen monkeys suffering through testing along the way, is that okay… because it’s monkeys?
Your argument is much more applicable to testing on poor people than mine — after all, we need to make progress.
