In fact, humans are used whenever it is possible and ethical to do so. Human (clinical) research is a large component of biomedical research. The purpose of using animals is to enable medical researchers to bring new medical discoveries to the point where they can be tested and used on humans. Scientists, for example, cannot infect pregnant women with diseases to test the effectiveness of new medicines on fetuses: they must first use other methods.
