I agree with you, but I would add that even so, it is still far better than 99.99% of scientific animal experiments, in which animals are usually subjected to severe suffering (for example, through the injection of human tumors) and are almost always killed at the end, as their tissues have to be examined.
Non-animal testing technologies — from human organoids to organ-on-chip systems and advanced computational models — are now mature enough to outperform traditional animal studies in many areas of biomedicine. Yet journals, funders, and scientists still often default to animal models due to inertia, legacy regulations, and peer-review bias. The message is clear — the future of human-relevant science won’t be found in mice.
