Probably. Human beings also died when we were figuring out organ transplants, and still do, sometimes.
Yeah the deaths from organ transplants, the risky operations performed as a last ditch effort to save patients who would otherwise die from incurable organ failure, definitely justifies killing 1500 monkeys to allow people to tweet by thinking.
