Animal activists would disagree that it is ethical to use animals in medical experiments. Those who are against using animals for the purpose of medical experiments typically feel very strongly about this cause.

At some point it is necessary for progress in medical treatment, new drugs and technologies must be developed and must be tested on humans before release for general use. While many forms of human experimentation are unethical, responsible doctors and scientists must be very careful to see that their experiments using human subjects are as ethical as it is possible to make them.

Why did Harlow use monkeys instead of humans?

There were ethical and practical reasons why Harlow could not use humans in experiments to identify the nature of attachment between human infants and their mothers. Animals were not protected by the same guidelines on ethics. Therefore, Harlow could use monkeys in his experiments. The macaques are close to humans in evolutionary terms and in many behavioural traits so Harlow could gain insight which could transfer to human models.
