Absolutely. I value human life more than animal life. That does not mean to say I am for ill treatment of animals or even unnecessary testing. Cosmetic testing may have gone too far. However, using animal subjects that could lead to curing major diseases in quite acceptable.

I value my family members' life more than a random person's life. If someone from my family needs a heart transplant, do I have the right to kill the random person?

I must agree with Mr. John Cees. A topic such as this can easily be blown out of proportion, and we must remember that this is a debate, not an emotional barn. We are speaking of animal live VS human lives, and in that case I definitely support animal testing, although humane conditions should be reviewed. However, what you brought up, which was Human lives VS Human lives, you bring up an entirely new debate.

That's taking the argument ad absurdum. I'm hungry this morning, so I will fry up some bacon, crisp. I will not shoot a passerby and butcher him for food, no matter how hungry I am.
