It’s the process that’s unethical, not the outcome. The ends cannot justify the means in the scientific process.

At which point from testing with non-animals do you go from simulated surgeries with robots to actual surgeries though? I don't want it being done unethically, but how do you promote the effort / research ethically?

How much issue do you take with animal testing in the rest of medicine? We already, more or less, torture an unfathomable amount of animals to get where we are.

It seems to me that ethics evolve to suit the process, and not the other way.
