If the experiments on monkeys would lead to a medicine that would improve life of millions, would you still ban it "for the sake of humanity"? Ethics sure have its place, but it must not hinder the vital progress. Today you save monkey from being "treated unethically", tomorrow you die with the same monkey from unstudied disease.
