Wouldn't that include the eventual patients as well, for new treatments?

Like, there's strong questions about specism here, but somebody is going to have to go first.

Willing human beings are a better choice than unwilling animals. It’s not just speciesism since I don’t think speciesism is “bad” in the sense that it is inevitable, but rather that it is questionable how much results replicate across species.
