We need to stop using animals. Not extend it. I mean I really don't get what's so hard about testing if a product works on humans in the real scenario.

    Because testing things in laboratories for healthcare requires stringent and rigorous controls. It's a lot easier to standardise animal blood than human blood, and as the comment above highlighted - animal blood is already a waste product, whereas human blood is highly valuable for directly saving lives.

    Arguing for less animal usage is a nobler cause, but this is not the fight to pick for it.
