Scientific knowledge is often gained through experimentation, which has been a fundamental practice since the scientific revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries. Notable examples include Galileo's experiments with motion, which challenged existing beliefs and laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. The method of systematic experimentation was further refined by figures like Francis Bacon and later by scientists such as Isaac Newton. Today, the experimental method remains a cornerstone of scientific inquiry, facilitating discoveries across various fields.

Experiments are done on animals for the same reason that any kind of experiments are done, which is either to get experience with the process of experimentation, or to seek new knowledge. There are many important questions that arise about human biology which cannot be investigated through experiments on people for obvious ethical reasons, and which therefore are investigated by experiments on animals. Animal experimentation also raises ethical issues, however, many people believe that the knowledge gained is worth the cost.
If the test is a success, both will benefit (scientists->money and tested human->money or anything that will help them) but if the test if a failure, then only the scientists benefit from it (knowledge) [for the tested human->possible chance for disorders, nothing, or death]
