Ethicists argue that animal research can be justified only when it produces immediate and measurable benefits. This means that there should be direct and tangible results from the research, such as a cure or treatment for a disease. Demonstrated long-lasting benefits would also be preferable, but the immediate and measurable benefits are the key factor in justifying animal research. The other options (A, C, and D) are not widely accepted criteria for justifying animal research by ethicists.
