Thus why if the experiments are done they should be done on our own species and why we might as well use lifers as they are nothing but a burden to society. The people who in their arrogance and ignorance will say it's crazy and rediculous because they think humans have more right to live then anything else because that is what they are. All living things are equal, we all have the same will to live and we should all have the same rights to life.

Ahhhhh, I'd be willing to bet that isn't the case.
Tests on animals are done primarily to determine if a drug is safe for humans, not if it is effective. That's what human trials are for, to see if the drug works on people. The tests on animals are to make sure the drug won't kill those people.
