Why is it more ethical to test products on animals than humans?

Many people do not agree that it is more ethical to do so, claiming that every living thing has a right to its natural life.
The only possible explanation is that creatures like rabbits, mice and other "lowly" animals need to be used so that medical experiments on humans don't need to take place.
That beggars the question, "Is a human more important than a dog in the scheme of things?"
You will have to answer that question for yourself.

Therefore, even if humans have the natural capability, they can choose not to use it because of religious or ethical beliefs.
