So called ethical treatment impacts the speed and scope of research that can be done, and in doing so delays or prevents the benefits of conducting that research. That means that people who could be saved by animal tested medicines instead die in the time taken to find an alternative.

Farm yields will probably drop to some extent, and we might see a few wars, but we are fairly well equipped to survive.
