Computers can run a model...but you have to have real world data to create and improve the model. Plus there's always the chance the model is wrong or has some inaccuracy in it.
A model is more accurate than a mouse, when it comes to weather medication is safe for a human. A huge chunks of trials that passed the non-human animal testing stages fail when applied to humans.
Do you have a source for this? Curious. My impressions were we are trying to get there but have a way to go yet. Brains, etc. have just been mapped in the last year and are far from perfect. This is the ultimate goal, though. My university requires you to go through an ethics board before you can touch living things.
I wish my university did that back in the day. Sounds like a good programme.
