And save human life at the same time? Experiments are not just about torturing animals; people spend a lot of time optimizing for experiment design.

Hey, did you hear about the Volkswagen Monkeys?
Volkswagen (the same megacorp that did the infamous Dieselgate/Emissionsgate scams) forced monkeys to inhale exhaust from its automobiles, to try to show that fumes from current models (the cars, not the monkeys) were less noxious than previous models.

I guess this cannot be termed as "torturing animals" in the "name of science".
We humans also inhale vehicular exhaust fumes, don't we?
Oh wait, I forgot. Monkeys don't drive cars.

If you do not know, the current effort is focused on reducing the budget of NIH. These experiments are performed for cancer or other disease research.
