Animals For Scientific Research?

Should we be using animals for scientific research? Is it right?

In a way...we are animals, aren't we? So why is it all right to test drugs on mice, or monkeys, etc. when we believe it's cruelty and un-just to test on humans?

But in another way, medical technology wouldn't be what it is today without the tests and experiments on "animals". So is this a good or bad thing? The animals will die in a few years anyway right?

I don't agree that we should test drugs on and murder innocent animals, even IF they'll die in a few years anyways. But it's is probably the only way. Maybe, after time, we'll be able to create artificial animals to test on.
