It's the reality of testing. You have no idea how many animals died to produce every drug you've ever taken:

It's always ironic to see animal rights advocates' responses when they are asked if they'd rather volunteer to be the research subjects instead. They are surprisingly reluctant...
This tends to make them ponder a bit more:
"If we hadn't experimented on animals, you might not even be alive today."

That might apply to some life-saving drugs.
Cosmetics and weapons are not medicines - far from it.
Claiming that weapons save more people that they kill is simply illogical.
...unless you are implying that this is about saving me personally at the expense of other people lives.
