I really am trying to understand this "delay" stuff. I don't see it at all.
I have a new medicine. I'm gonna test it (along with a theory). So, I'm gonna test it on a bunch of animals that, yes, die and survive. I'd learn what works.

You'd prefer that I'd test it on a bunch of humans that, yes, die, and, perhaps, survive? My objective, as a human, is that humans are a priority - above all else.

What is your priority? Animals over humans?
