I have come to the same conclusion when pondering the future of the
human race, and it is rather disconcerting.  However, I do not see
this is a case against animal experimentation.  If worse comes to
worse and medical help was no longer available on the large scale if
at all, then the survival of the fittest would take over and the human
gene pool would become eventually strong again (assuming that it is now 
weak), if people still exist.
