It's pointless to argue medical testing/cosmetic testing at all, really. How is cosmetic testing worse than medical testing? Because one we don't need and one we do? Do we 'need' SUVs? Do we 'need' shopping malls, sprawling cities, massive sports arenas and stadiums? Do we 'need' to have our 16-oz steak every night?
You can't argue that medical testing is 'right' and cosmetic testing is somehow 'wrong', because they're based on the same human attitude - animals are just a means to an end. We domesticate and slaughter them, pave over their habitats, hunt them and slaughter them for recreation, etc.
To clarify, it's like a tyrant telling his citizens, "You all belong to me. I will take all of your possessions and land, and I will kill you whenever I wish. But I won't rape your women."
