Mice in lab conditions lead better life. To seriously subscribe to your viewpoint and take it to its logical conclusion implies that existence itself of all species should be eliminated.
Mice themselves are basic models and inadequate compared to man. The real answer to your question is: we should use humans.

We need to start using actual humans for experiments. There needs to be a class of humans bred exclusively for experimentation.

For the mean time, all criminals with repeat histories should be used as test subjects.

Simulations cannot even emulate chemical reactions properly, much less pharmacoactivity. To do this would be so Godlike, it would be equal to creating life itself.

Garbage that only lasts for 5-10 years and the procedure can only be performed about 2-3 times before there isn't any more cornea to cut away. You're looking at chronic dry eye, rapid deterioration of vision as you age, extremely increased incidents of infection. Surgical procedures and diagnostic criteria are much easier to get through FDA approval as the complications do not manifest until a few years later or, any complications are merely labeled as "post surgical" and part of the "recovery phase", an is to "be expected"; try that with a pharmotheraputic, and it would fail approval. If you live in a humid area where there is any mold whatsoever, you risk the fungal keratitis and permanent blindness. Once you have maxed out the surgery, or if your cornea was too thin in the first place, you're forced to wear glasses and cannot wear contacts to hide your vision problems, even so called high permeable, without risking further apoptosis and rapid deterioration of whatever the hell is left of your cornea. This newest approval solves nothing. It simply provides a better cut so the odds of it being botched are lower. It will still begin to falter after just a few years and eventually the flap that was created will warp, and new vessels will start to grow below it, and you'll need it performed again.

LASIK and PKR are smoke and mirrors for brainlets too stupid to understand the complex anatomy of the eye and how the procedures are even performed, it sounds fancy and they say DUUUUDE SCIENCE!!! Virtually all ophthalmologists that do not perform these surgeries are vehemently against it, and most intelligent optometrists will strongly warn against it too. It's ironic too, because many ophthalmologists are myopic yet refuse to have the procedure done.

You only have one set of eyes, that give you the remarkable gift of vision to see the world around you. Don't ruin them.

The statistic is derived from the Drake Equation and is based on a bastardized understanding of evolution, thinking organisms just "evolve to" be intelligence, which is fantastical and sounds more like The Force, rather than it being survival of the fittest and the fluke of hundreds of trillions of mutations, arriving totally at random Sentience itself isn't favorable for survival of a species given that it introduces the assessment of futility.
All it would have taken is a single ancestor with a single gene related to intelligence not to procreate and we would be apes still.
If you were to calculate the billions of genetic mutations that led up to this point, the survival of them, the ability for it to procreate, to arrive at the human condition, it would be beyond the number of stars in the sky, beyond estimable planets in the universe. There is a reason why we do not hear Alien chatter, and it's not because they are "too smart so they hide it", but rather because the simplest explanation is that we are the only life that exists. AyyyLMAOs retards are actually worse than (intelligent) religious people, and are just putting blind faith in the assumption that Aliens exist, to which is based on some appeal to probability, forgetting to question what is the probability that evolutionary development of man The concept of probability guaranteed extraterrestrial life is laughable to anyone who has a serious understanding of genetics and evolutionary biology. There is a reason why pop-sci brainlets LOVE contemplating the existence of aliens.
